returned,°°
and considered°°°
all°
the oppressions°
that°
are done°°
under°
the sun:°

comforter;°°
and on the side°°
of their oppressors°°
[there was] power;°
but they had no°
comforter.°° |

[is he] than both°°
they,°
which°
hath not°
yet°
been,°
who°
hath not°
seen°°°
the evil°
work°
that°
is done°°
under°
the sun.° |

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.° |

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.° |

another°
to help him up.°° |

be warm°°
[alone]? |

him; and a threefold°°
cord°
is not°
quickly°
broken.°° |

4:13 ¶

no°
more°
be admonished.°° |

child°
that°
shall stand up°°
in his stead.° |

[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.° |
|
