Ecc 4:1 |
¶ |
So I returned 7725 , and considered 7200 all the oppressions 6217 that are done 6213 under the sun 8121: and behold the tears 1832 of [such as were] oppressed 6231 , and they had no comforter 5162 ; and on the side 3027 of their oppressors 6231 [there was] power 3581; but they had no comforter 5162 .
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:2 |
|
Wherefore I praised 7623 the dead 4191 which are already 3528 dead 4191 more than the living 2416 which are yet 5728 alive 2416.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:3 |
|
Yea, better 2896 [is he] than both 8147 they, which hath not yet 5728 been, who hath not seen 7200 the evil 7451 work 4639 that is done 6213 under the sun 8121.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:4 |
¶ |
Again, I considered 7200 all travail 5999, and every right 3788 work 4639, that for this a man 376 is envied 7068 of his neighbour 7453. This [is] also vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit 7307.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:5 |
|
The fool 3684 foldeth 2263 0 his hands 3027 together 2263 , and eateth 398 his own flesh 1320.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:6 |
|
Better 2896 [is] an handful 3709 [with] quietness 5183, than both the hands 2651 full 4393 [with] travail 5999 and vexation 7469 of spirit 7307.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:7 |
¶ |
Then I returned 7725 , and I saw 7200 vanity 1892 under the sun 8121.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:8 |
|
There is 3426 one 259 [alone], and [there is] not a second 8145; yea, he hath neither child 1121 nor brother 251: yet [is there] no end 7093 of all his labour 5999; neither is his eye 5869 satisfied 7646 with riches 6239; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour 6001, and bereave 2637 my soul 5315 of good 2896? This [is] also vanity 1892, yea, it [is] a sore 7451 travail 6045.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:9 |
¶ |
Two 8147 [are] better 2896 than one 259; because they have 3426 a good 2896 reward 7939 for their labour 5999.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:10 |
|
For if they fall 5307 , the one 259 will lift up 6965 his fellow 2270: but woe 337 to him [that is] alone 259 when he falleth 5307 ; for [he hath] not another 8145 to help him up 6965 .
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:11 |
|
Again 1571, if two 8147 lie together 7901 , then they have heat 2552 : but how can one 259 be warm 3179 [alone]?
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:12 |
|
And if one 259 prevail 8630 against him, two 8147 shall withstand 5975 him; and a threefold 8027 cord 2339 is not quickly 4120 broken 5423 .
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:13 |
¶ |
Better 2896 [is] a poor 4542 and a wise 2450 child 3206 than an old 2205 and foolish 3684 king 4428, who will 3045 no more be admonished 2094 .
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:14 |
|
For out of prison 631 1004 he cometh 3318 to reign 4427 ; whereas also [he that is] born 3205 in his kingdom 4438 becometh poor 7326 .
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:15 |
|
I considered 7200 all the living 2416 which walk 1980 under the sun 8121, with the second 8145 child 3206 that shall stand up 5975 in his stead.
|
  
  
|
Ecc 4:16 |
|
[There is] no end 7093 of all the people 5971, [even] of all that have been before 6440 them: they also that come after 314 shall not rejoice 8055 in him. Surely this also [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7475 of spirit 7307.
