wbs Ecclesiastes:4:1-12
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ 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.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Wherefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ Yes, better is he than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with toil and vexation of spirit.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yes, it is a grievous labor.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
wbs@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 to rise.
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
wbs@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
