Ecclesiastes 4:1-8

1AgainH7725 I looked, and IH589 consideredH7200 allH3605 the oppressionH6217 taking placeH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121. I sawH2009 the tearsH1832 of the oppressedH6217, and they had noH369 comforterH5162; the powerH3581 lay in the handsH3027 of their oppressorsH6231, and there was noH369 comforterH5162. 2So IH589 admiredH7623 the deadH4191, who had alreadyH3528 diedH4191, aboveH4480 the livingH2416, whoH834H1992 are stillH5728 aliveH2416. 3But betterH2896 than bothH8147 is he whoH834 has notH3808 yetH5728 existedH1961, whoH834 has notH3808 seenH7200 the evilH7451H4639 thatH834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121.

4IH589 sawH7200 that allH3605 laborH5999 andH853 successH3788H4639 spring fromH3588H1931 a man’sH376 envyH7068 of his neighborH7453. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892 and a pursuitH7469 of the windH7307.

7AgainH7725, IH589 sawH7200 futilityH1892 underH8478 the sunH8121. 8There isH3426 aH259 man all aloneH369H8145, withoutH369 evenH1571 a sonH1121 or brotherH251. And though there is noH369 endH7093 to his laborH5999, his eyesH5869 are stillH1571 notH3808 contentH7646 with his wealthH6239: “For whomH4310 do IH589 toilH6001 and bereaveH2637 my soulH5315 of enjoymentH2896?” ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892—a miserableH7451H1931 taskH6045.
