  4:1 ¶
Then I returned and saw 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. |
|
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.°° |
|
4:2
Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive; |
|
4:2
Wherefore I°
praised°°°
the dead°°
which are already°°
dead°°
more than°
the living°
which°°
are yet°
alive.° |
|
4:3
yea, better than them both [did I esteem] him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. |
|
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.° |
|
4:4 ¶
Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. |
|
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.° |
|
4:5
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. |
|
4:5
The fool°
foldeth°°
his hands°
together,°°°°
and eateth°°°
his own flesh.° |
|
4:6
Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind. |
|
4:6
Better°
[is] an handful°°°
[with] quietness,°
than both the hands°
full°°
[with] travail°
and vexation°
of spirit.° |
|
4:7 ¶
Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun. |
|
4:7 ¶
Then I°
returned,°°
and I saw°°
vanity°
under°
the sun.° |
|
4:8
There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. |
|
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.° |
|
4:9 ¶
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. |
|
4:9 ¶
Two°
[are] better°
than°
one;°
because°
they have°
a good°
reward°
for their labour.° |
|
4:10
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. |
|
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.°° |
|
4:11
Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm [alone]? |
|
4:11
Again,°
if°
two°
lie together,°°
then they have heat:°°
but how°
can one°
be warm°°
[alone]? |
|
4:12
And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. |
|
4:12
And if°
one°
prevail°°
against°
him, two°
shall withstand°°°
him; and a threefold°°
cord°
is not°
quickly°
broken.°° |
|
4:13 ¶
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more. |
|
4:13 ¶
Better°
[is] a poor°
and a wise°
child°
than an old°
and foolish°
king,°°
who°
will°°
no°
more°
be admonished.°° |
|
4:14
For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor. |
|
4:14
For°
out of prison°°°°
he cometh°°
to reign;°°
whereas°
also°
[he that is] born°°
in his kingdom°
becometh poor.°° |
|
4:15
I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead. |
|
4:15
I considered°°°
all°
the living°
which walk°°
under°
the sun,°
with°
the second°
child°
that°
shall stand up°°
in his stead.° |
|
4:16
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind. |
|
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°
and vexation°
of spirit.° |
