1: And returned,H7725 IH0589 and consideredH7200 -H0853 allH3605 the oppressionH6217 thatH0834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sun.H8121 And lookH2009 the tearsH1832 of the oppressed,H6217 but noH0369 comforter-H5162 and On the sideH3027 of their oppressorsH6231 [there is] power-H3581 but noH0369 comforter.H5162
2: Therefore praisedH7623 IH0589 -H0853 the deadH4191 who alreadyH3528 were deadH4191 More thanH4480 the livingH2416 whoH0834 areH1992 aliveH2416 still.H5728
3: And yet better [is he]H2896 than the two of themH8147 -H0853 whoH0834 yetH5728 neverH3808 has existed,H1961 whoH0834 notH3808 has seenH7200 -H0853 the workH4639 evilH7451 thatH0834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sun.H8121
4: And Again sawH7200 IH0589 -H0853 that for allH3605 toil,H5999 andH0853 everyH3605 skillfulH3788 work,H4639 forH3588 itH1931 is enviedH7068 a manH0376 by his neighbor.H7453 AlsoH1571 thisH2088 [is] vanityH1892 and grasping forH7469 the wind.H7307
5: The foolH3684 foldsH2263 -H0853 his handsH3027 and consumesH0398 -H0853 his own flesh.H1320
6: BetterH2896 fullH4393 a handful [with]H3709 quietness,H5183 Than bothH4393 hands [together with]H2651 toilH5999 and grasping forH7469 the wind.H7307
7: And returned,H7725 IH0589 and I sawH7200 vanityH1892 underH8478 the sun.H8121
8: There isH3426 one [alone]H0259 and [there is] noH0369 second-H8145 also,H1571 sonH1121 and brother,H0251 noH0369 and yet [there is] noH0369 endH7093 to allH3605 his labors-H5999 alsoH1571 his eyeH5869 norH3808 is satisfiedH7646 with riches-H6239 and [But he never asks] for whomH4310 IH0589 do toil,H6001 and depriveH2637 -H0853 myselfH5315 of good?H2896 alsoH1571 thisH2088 vanity,H1892 and a misfortuneH6045 graveH7451 is.H1931
9: [are] betterH2896 twoH8147 thanH4480 one-H0259 becauseH0834 they haveH3426 they haveH1992 a rewardH7939 goodH2896 for their labor.H5999
10: ForH3588 ifH0518 they fall,H5307 oneH0259 will lift upH6965 -H0853 his companion.H2270 But woe to himH0337 [who is but] oneH0259 when he falls-H5307 for [he has] noH0369 secondH8145 to help him up.H6965
11: Again,H1571 ifH0518 lie down together,H7901 twoH8147 and will keep warm-H2552 but one [alone]H0259 howH0349 can be warm.H3179
12: And ThoughH0518 may be overpowered by anotherH8630 oneH0259 twoH8147 can withstandH5975 himH5048 and a cordH2339 threefoldH8027 notH3808 quicklyH4120 is broken.H5423
13: BetterH2896 a youthH3206 poorH4542 and wiseH2450 Than king,H4428 an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 whoH0834 noH3808 willH3045 be admonishedH2094 more.H5750
14: ForH3588 out of prisonH1004 bandH0612 he comesH3318 to be king-H4427 whereasH3588 AlthoughH1571 in his kingdomH4438 he was bornH3205 poor.H7326
15: I sawH7200 -H0853 allH3605 the livingH2416 who walkH1980 underH8478 the sun,H8121 they were withH5973 the youthH3206 secondH8145 whoH0834 standsH5975 in his place.H8478
16: [There was] noH0369 endH7093 of allH3605 the people,H5971 overH3605 whomH0834 he was [made king]H1961 -H6440 yetH1571 those who come afterwardH0314 notH3808 will rejoiceH8055 surelyH3588 alsoH1571 thisH2088 [is] vanityH1892 and grasping forH7475 the wind.H7307
