V.1 So I returned, 7725-1 and considered 7200-4 all the oppressions 6217 that are done 6213-12 under the sun: 8121 and behold the tears 1832 of [such as were] oppressed, 6231-7 and they had no comforter; 5162-18 and on the side 3027 of their oppressors 6231-6 [there was] power; 3581 but they had no comforter. 5162-18

4:2 Wherefore I praised 7623-18 the dead 4191-5 which are already 3528 dead 4191-1 more than the living 2416 which are yet 5728 alive. 2416

4:3 Yea, better 2896 [is he] than both 8147 they, which hath not yet 5728 been, who hath not seen 7200-1 the evil 7451 work 4639 that is done 6213-8 under the sun. 8121

4:4 Again, I considered 7200-1 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

4:5 The fool 3684 foldeth 2263-6 his hands 3027 together, and eateth 398-6 his own flesh. 1320

4:6 Better 2896 [is] an handful 4393 3709 [with] quietness, 5183 than both the hands 2651 full 4393 [with] travail 5999 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

4:7 Then I returned, 7725-1 and I saw 7200-4 vanity 1892 under the sun. 8121

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 7646-4 with riches; 6239 neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, 6001 and bereave 2637-18 my soul 5315 of good? 2896 This [is] also vanity, 1892 yea, it [is] a sore 7451 travail. 6045

4:9 Two 8147 [are] better 2896 than one; 259 because they have 3426 a good 2896 reward 7939 for their labour. 5999

4:10 For if they fall, 5307-4 the one 259 will lift up 6965- 55 his fellow: 2270 but woe to him 337 [that is] alone 259 when he falleth; 5307-4 for [he hath] not another 8145 to help him up. 6965-53

4:11 Again, 1571 if two 8147 lie 7901-4 together, then they have heat: 2552-1 but how can one 259 be warm 3179-4 [alone]?

4:12 And if one 259 prevail 8630-4 against him, two 8147 shall withstand 5975-4 him; and a threefold 8027-30 cord 2339 is not quickly 4120 broken. 5423-11

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 3045-1 no more be admonished. 2094-9

4:14 For out of prison 631-7 1004 he cometh 3318-1 to reign; 4427-2 whereas also [he that is] born 3205-8 in his kingdom 4438 becometh poor. 7326-6

4:15 I considered 7200-1 all the living 2416 which walk 1980- 18 under the sun, 8121 with the second 8145 child 3206 that shall stand up 5975-4 in his stead.
