Wherefore I praisedh7623h8764 the deadh4191h8801 which are alreadyh3528 deadh4191h8804 more than the livingh2416 which are yeth5728 aliveh2416.

Again, I consideredh7200h8804 all travailh5999, and every righth3788 workh4639, that for this a manh376 is enviedh7068 of his neighbourh7453. This is also vanityh1892 and vexationh7469 of spirith7307. every...: Heb. all the rightness of work

8

There ish3426 oneh259 alone , and there is not a secondh8145; yea, he hath neither childh1121 nor brotherh251: yet is there no endh7093 of all his labourh5999; neither is his eyeh5869 satisfiedh7646h8799 with richesh6239; neither saith he , For whom do I labourh6001, and bereaveh2637h8764 my soulh5315 of goodh2896? This is also vanityh1892, yea, it is a soreh7451 travailh6045.

Twoh8147 are betterh2896 than oneh259; because they haveh3426 a goodh2896 rewardh7939 for their labourh5999.

For if they fallh5307h8799, the oneh259 will lift uph6965h8686 his fellowh2270: but woeh337 to him that is aloneh259 when he fallethh5307h8799; for he hath not anotherh8145 to help him uph6965h8687.

11

Againh1571, if twoh8147 lie togetherh7901h8799, then they have heath2552h8804: but how can oneh259 be warmh3179h8799 alone ?

12

And if oneh259 prevailh8630h8799 against him, twoh8147 shall withstandh5975h8799 him; and a threefoldh8027h8794 cordh2339 is not quicklyh4120 brokenh5423h8735.

13

Betterh2896 is a poorh4542 and a wiseh2450 childh3206 than an oldh2205 and foolishh3684 kingh4428, who willh3045h8804 no more be admonishedh2094h8736. who...: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished

14

For out of prisonh631h8803h1004 he comethh3318h8804 to reignh4427h8800; whereas also he that is bornh3205h8738 in his kingdomh4438 becometh poorh7326h8802.

15

I consideredh7200h8804 all the livingh2416 which walkh1980h8764 under the sunh8121, with the secondh8145 childh3206 that shall stand uph5975h8799 in his stead.
