4 And_again I and_saw DOM all the_oppression which [were _being]_done under the_sun and_see/lo/see the _tear[s] the_oppressed and_no to/for_them a _comforter and_on_side oppressors_their power and_no to/for_them a _comforter.
2 And_commended I DOM the_dead who_already they _had _died more _than the_living who they [were]_alive still.
3 And_good than_both_them DOM [one]_who still not he _has _been [one]_who not he _has _seen DOM the_deeds the_evil which it _is _done under the_sun.
4 And_saw I DOM all [the]_toil and_DOM all the _skill the_work (cmp) it [is]_envy of _everyone of_another_his also this [is]_futility and_chasing of _wind.
5 The_fool [is]_folding DOM hands_his and_consumes DOM flesh_his _own.
6 [is]_good [the]_fullness of _a _palm of _quietness than_full of _[the]_hollow _of _hands toil and_chasing of _wind.
7 And_again I and_saw futility under the_sun.
8 There _[was] one _[person] and_no a _second _[person] also a _son and_brother there _[belonged]_not to_him/it and_there _is _no an _end to/from_all/each/any/every toil_his also eyes_his[fn] not it _was _satisfied wealth and_for_whom [am]_I toiling and_depriving DOM self _of_me of_pleasure also this [is]_futility and_business of _evil it.
9 [are]_good the_two more _than the_one that there _[is] to/for_them a _reward good in/on/at/with_toil_their.
10 If/because if they _will _fall _down the_one he _will _raise DOM companion_his and_pity_to_one the_one who_falls and_not a _second _[person] to_lift _up_him.
11 Also if they _will _lie _down two _[people] and_keep _warm to/for_them and_to/for_one how will _it _be _warm.
12 And_if overpower_him the_one the_two they _will _stand before_him and_the_cord the_three not in/on/at/with_quickness it _will _be _torn _apart.
13 [is]_good a _youth poor and_wise than_king old and_foolish who not he _knows to_take _advice still.
14 If/because of_house the_prison he _came _out to_reign if/because also in/on/at/with_kingdom_his he _had _been _born poor.
15 I _saw DOM all the_living the_move _about under the_sun with the_youth the_second who he _will _arise in _place_him.
16 There _[is]_not an _end to/from_all/each/any/every the_people to_all/each/any/every [those]_whom he _was before_face/front_them also the_later not they _will _rejoice in_him/it if/because also this [is]_futility and_chasing of _wind.
