ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:1 @And I have turned , and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun , and lo , the tear of the oppressed , and they have no comforter ; and at the hand of their oppressors [is ] power , and they have no comforter . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:2 @And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:3 @And better than both of them [is ] he who hath not yet been , in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:4 @And I have seen all the labour , and all the benefit of the work , because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour . Even this [is ] vanity and vexation of spirit . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:5 @The fool is clasping his hands , and eating his own flesh : ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:6 @'Better [is ] a handful [with ] quietness , than two handfuls [with ] labour and vexation of spirit .' ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:7 @And I have turned , and I see a vain thing under the sun : ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:8 @There is one , and there is not a second ; even son or brother he hath not , and there is no end to all his labour ! His eye also is not satisfied with riches , and [he saith not ], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good ?' This also is vanity , it is a sad travail . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:9 @The two [are ] better than the one , in that they have a good reward by their labour . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:10 @For if they fall , the one raiseth up his companion , but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up ! ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:11 @Also , if two lie down , then they have heat , but how hath one heat ? ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:12 @And if the one strengthen himself , the two stand against him ; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:13 @Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king , who hath not known to be warned any more . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:14 @For from a house of prisoners he hath come out to reign , for even in his own kingdom he hath been poor . ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:15 @I have seen all the living , who are walking under the sun , with the second youth who doth stand in his place ; ylt @Ecclesiastes:4:16 @there is no end to all the people , to all who were before them ; also , the latter rejoice not in him . Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit .
