4:1 So
I
returned,
and
considered
all
the
oppressions
that
are
done
vnder
the
sunne;
&
behold
the
teares
of
such
as
were
oppressed,
and
they
had
no
comforter:
and
on
the
side
of
their
oppressours
there
was
power,
but
they
had
no
comforter.
4:2 Wherefore
I
praised
the
dead
which
are
already
dead,
more
then
the
liuing
which
are
yet
aliue.
4:3 Yea
better
is
he
then
both
they,
which
hath
not
yet
been,
who
hath
not
seene
the
euill
worke
that
is
done
vnder
the
Sunne.
4:4 Againe
I
considered
all
trauaile,
and
euery
right
worke,
that
for
this
a
man
is
enuied
of
his
neighbour:
this
is
also
vanitie,
and
vexation
of
spirit.
4:5 The
foole
foldeth
his
hands
together,
and
eateth
his
owne
flesh.
4:6 Better
is
an
handfull
with
quietnesse,
then
both
the
hands
full
with
trauell
and
vexation
of
spirit.
4:7 Then
I
returned,
and
I
saw
vanitie
vnder
the
Sunne.
4:8 There
is
one
alone,
and
there
is
not
a
second;
yea,
he
hath
neither
childe
nor
brother:
yet
is
there
no
end
of
all
his
labour,
neither
is
his
eye
satisfied
with
riches,
neither
sayth
hee,
For
whom
doe
I
labour,
and
bereaue
my
soule
of
good
this
is
also
vanitie,
yea
it
is
a
sore
trauell.
4:9 Two
are
better
then
one;
because
they
haue
a
good
reward
for
their
labour.
4:10 For
if
they
fall,
the
one
will
lift
vp
his
fellow;
but
woe
to
him
that
is
alone,
when
he
falleth:
for
he
hath
not
another
to
helpe
him
vp.
4:11 Againe,
if
two
lye
together,
then
they
haue
heate;
but
howe
can
one
be
warme
alone
4:12 And
if
one
preuaile
against
him,
two
shall
withstand
him;
and
a
threefold
coard
is
not
quickly
broken.
4:13 Better
is
a
poore
and
a
wise
child,
then
an
old
and
foolish
king
who
will
no
more
be
admonished.
4:14 For
out
of
prison
hee
commeth
to
raigne,
whereas
also
he
that
is
borne
in
his
kingdome,
becommeth
poore.
4:15 I
considered
all
the
liuing
which
walke
vnder
the
sunne,
with
the
second
child
that
shall
stand
vp
in
his
stead.
4:16 There
is
no
end
of
all
the
people,
euen
of
all
that
haue
beene
before
them:
they
also
that
come
after,
shall
not
reioyce
in
him:
surely
this
also
is
vanitie,
and
vexation
of
spirit.
