Ecclesiastes 4

1Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 allH3605 the oppressionsH6217 that are doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121: and beholdH2009, the tearsH1832 of suchH834 as were oppressedH6231, and they had noH369 comforterH5162; and on the sideH3027 of their oppressorsH6231 there was powerH3027, but they had noH369 comforterH5162. 2Wherefore I praised the deadH4191 whichH834 are alreadyH3528 deadH4191 moreH4480 thanH4480 the livingH2416 whichH834 are yet aliveH2416; 3yea, betterH2896 thanH3808 them bothH8147 didH6213 I esteem him whichH834 hath notH3808 yet been, who hath notH3808 seenH7200 the evilH7451 workH4639 that is doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121. 4Then I sawH7200 allH3605 labour and everyH3605 skilful workH4639, that for this a manH376 is envied of his neighbour. This also is vanityH1892 and a strivingH7469 afterH7469 windH7307. 5The foolH3684 foldeth his handsH3027 together, and eateth his own fleshH1320. 6BetterH2896 is an handful with quietness, thanH2896 two handfulsH2651 with labour and strivingH7469 afterH7469 windH7307. 7Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 vanityH1892 underH8478 the sunH8121. 8There is one that is aloneH259, and he hath notH3808 a secondH8145; yea, he hath neitherH3808 sonH1121 norH3808 brotherH251; yet is there noH3808 endH7093 of allH3605 his labour, neitherH3808 are his eyesH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239. For whomH4310 then, saith he, doH589 I labour, and deprive my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This also is vanityH1892, yea, it is a sore travail. 9TwoH8147 are betterH2896 thanH4480 one; becauseH4480 they have a goodH2896 rewardH7939 for their labour. 10For ifH518 they fallH5307, the one will liftH6965 upH6965 his fellow: but woeH337 to him that is aloneH259 when he falleth, and hath notH369 anotherH259 to liftH6965 him upH6965. 11Again, ifH518 twoH8147 lieH7901 togetherH259, then they have warmth: but howH349 canH518 one be warmH2552 aloneH259? 12And ifH518 a manH259 prevailH5975 againstH5048 him that is aloneH259, twoH8147 shall withstandH5975 him; and a threefold cordH2339 is notH3808 quicklyH4120 brokenH5423. 13BetterH2896 is a poorH4542 and wiseH2450 youthH3206 thanH3808 an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 kingH4428, who knoweth notH3808 howH834 to receive admonition anyH5750 moreH5750. 14For outH3318 of prisonH1004 he cameH3318 forthH3318 to be kingH4427; yeaH3588, evenH1571 in his kingdomH4438 he was bornH3205 poorH7326. 15I sawH7200 allH3605 the livingH2416 whichH834 walkH1980 underH8478 the sunH8121, that they were with the youthH3206, the secondH8145, that stoodH5975 upH7200 in his steadH8478. 16There was noH3808 endH7093 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, evenH1571 of allH3605 them over whomH834 he was: yet they that comeH1961 afterH7093 shall notH3808 rejoiceH8055 in him. SurelyH3588 this also is vanityH1892 and a strivingH7475 afterH7093 windH7307.
