  4:1 ¶
So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun: and behold the tear of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them 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
and I praised all the dead that had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now. |
|
4:2
Wherefore I°
praised°°°
the dead°°
which are already°°
dead°°
more than°
the living°
which°°
are yet°
alive.° |
|
4:3
Better also than both these is he who has not yet been, who has not seen all 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 ¶
And I saw all labour, and all the diligent work, that this is a man's envy from his neighbour. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit. |
|
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 folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh. |
|
4:5
The fool°
foldeth°°
his hands°
together,°°°°
and eateth°°°
his own flesh.° |
|
4:6
Better is a handful of rest than two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit. |
|
4:6
Better°
[is] an handful°°°
[with] quietness,°
than both the hands°
full°°
[with] travail°
and vexation°
of spirit.° |
|
4:7 ¶
So 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 [alone], and there is not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble. |
|
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, [seeing] they have a good reward for their labour. |
|
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 falls, and there is not a second 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
Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed [alone]? |
|
4:11
Again,°
if°
two°
lie together,°°
then they have heat:°°
but how°
can one°
be warm°°
[alone]? |
|
4:12
And if one should prevail against [him], the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be 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 child than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer. |
|
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 he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, because [he] also that was in his kingdom has become 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 beheld all the living who were walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each one's place. |
|
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 is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit. |
|
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.° |
