Revised Version 1895
Ecclesiastes 4:4-8
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.
