ULT ECC Chapter 4

ECC 4 ©

4And I turned, I, and I saw all the oppressions that were being done under the sun. And, look, the tears of the oppressed and there was no comforter for them. And from the hand of the ones oppressing them was strength and there was no comforter for them. 2So I praised, I, those who were dead, who have already died, more than the living, who they are still alive. 3But better than the two of them is the one who has not yet lived, who has not seen the evil-doing that is being done under the sun.

4And I saw, I, every toil and every success of the deed, that it was the envy of a person from his friend. This also is vapor and striving after wind.

5The fool is folding his hands

and is eating his flesh.

6Better is a full palm of quiet

than the full hollow of both hands with toil and striving after wind.

7And I turned, I, and I saw a vaporous thing under the sun: 8There is one person and there is not a second person—even a son or brother, there is not for him—and there is no end to all his toil. Also his eye is not satisfied with wealth. And why am I toiling and causing my soul to lack from good things? Also this is vapor and it is an unpleasant business.

9Better are the two people than the one person,

that there is for them a good wage in exchange for their toil.

10For if they fall, the one person will lift up his companion,

but woe to him, the one person that will fall,

but there is no second person to lift him up.

11Also, if two people lie down, then there is warmth for them,

but for the one person—how will there be warmth?

12And if he will overpower him, the one person,

the two people will stand against him,

and the three-fold rope will not be torn in two quickly.

13Better is a poor but wise child than an old but foolish king who does not yet know how to be warned. 14For from the house of those who are imprisoned he came forth to become king, yet even in his kingdom he was born poor. 15I saw all the living, those walking around under the sun, with that second child who will stand under him. 16There was no end to all the people, to all who were to their faces. Even the ones who will be afterward will not rejoice in him, because even this is vapor and striving after wind.
