3 And _ good than _ both _ of_ them DOM [one] _ whostill not he _ has_ been[one] _ whonot he _ has_ seenDOM the _ deeds the _ evil which it _ is_ doneunder the _ sun .

5 The _ fool [is] _ foldingDOM hands _ of_ his and _ consumes DOM flesh _ of_ his _ own6 [is] _ good[the] _ fullness_ ofa _ palm_ ofquietness than _ full _ of[the] _ hollow_ of_ handstoil and _ chasing _ ofwind .
7 And _ again I and _ saw futility under the _ sun .
8 There _ [was]one _ [person]and _ no a _ second_ [person]also a _ sonand _ brother there _ [belonged]_ notto _ him/it and _ there _ is_ noan _ endto/from _ all/each/any/every toil _ of_ his also eyes _ of_ his [fn ] not it _ was_ satisfiedwealth and _ for _ whom [am] _ Itoiling and _ depriving DOM self _ of_ me of _ pleasure also this [is] _ futilityand _ business evil it .

10 If/because if they _ will_ fall_ downthe _ one he _ will_ raiseDOM companion _ of_ his and _ pity _ to _ one the _ one who _ falls and _ not a _ second_ [person]to _ lift _ up_ him .
11 Also if they _ will_ lie_ downtwo _ [people]and _ keep _ warmto/for _ them and _ to/for _ one how will _ it_ be_ warm12 And _ if overpower _ him the _ one the _ two they _ will_ standbefore _ him and _ the _ cord the _ three not in/on/at/with _ quickness it _ will_ be_ torn_ apart13 [is] _ gooda _ youthpoor and _ wise than _ king old and _ foolish who not he _ knowsto _ take _ advicestill .
