@ So I
returned
, and
considered
all the
oppressions
that are
done
under the
sun
: and behold the
tears
of such as were
oppressed
, and they had no
comforter
; and on the
side
of their
oppressors
there was
power
; but they had no
comforter
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:2
@ Wherefore I
praised
the
dead
which are
already
dead
more than the
living
which are
yet
alive
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:3
@ Yea,
better
is he than
both
they, which hath not
yet
been, who hath not
seen
the
evil
work
that is
done
under the
sun
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:4
@ Again, I
considered
all
travail
, and every
right
work
, that for this a
man
is
envied
of his
neighbour
. This is also
vanity
and
vexation
of
spirit
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:5
@ The
fool
foldeth
his
hands
together
, and
eateth
his own
flesh
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:6
@
Better
is an
handful
with
quietness
, than both the
hands
full
with
travail

vexation
of
spirit
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:7
@ Then I
returned
, and I
saw
vanity
under the
sun
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:8
@ There
is
one
alone, and there is not a
second
; yea, he hath neither
child
nor
brother
: yet is there no
end
of all his
labour
; neither is his
eye
satisfied
with
riches
; neither saith he, For whom do I
labour
, and
bereave
my
soul
of
good
? This is also
vanity
, yea, it is a
sore
travail
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:9
@
Two
are
better
than
one
; because they
have
a
good
reward
for their
labour
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:10
@ For if they
fall
, the
one
will lift
up
his
fellow
: but
woe
to him that is
alone
when he
falleth
; for he hath not
another
to help him
up
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:11
@
Again
, if
two
lie
together
, then they have
heat
: but how can
one
be
warm
alone?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:12
@ And if
one
prevail
against him,
two
shall
withstand
him; and a
threefold
cord
is not
quickly
broken
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:13
@
Better
is a
poor

wise
child

old

foolish
king

will
no more be
admonished

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:14
@ For out of
prison
he
cometh
to
reign

born
in his
kingdom
becometh
poor

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:15
@ I
considered
all the

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:16
@ There is no
end
of all the
people
, even of all that have been
before
them: they also that come
after
shall not
rejoice
in him. Surely this also is
vanity

vexation
of
spirit

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:1
@
Keep
thy
foot
when thou
goest
to the
house
of
God

ready
to
hear

give
the
sacrifice
of
fools

consider
not that they

evil

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:2
@ Be not
rash
with thy
mouth
, and let not thine
heart
be
hasty

cometh
through the

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:4
@ When thou
vowest
a
vow
unto
God

defer
not to

pleasure

pay
that which thou hast
vowed

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6
@
Suffer
not thy
mouth
to cause thy
flesh
to
sin
; neither
say
thou
before
the
angel

error
: wherefore should
God
be
angry
at thy
voice
, and
destroy
the
work
of thine
hands

strkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:7
@ For in the
multitude

there are also divers
vanities

seest
the
oppression
of the

violent
perverting of

marvel
not at the
