CHAP. IIII.
2 The innocents are oppressed. 4 Mens labours are full of abuse
and vanitie. 9 Mans societie is necessarie. 13 A yong
man poore, and wise, is to be preferred to an olde King that is a
foole.
1 So note I turned and considered all the oppressions
that are wrought vnder the sunne, and beholde
the teares of the oppressed, and none comforteth
them: and lo, the strength is of the hand of
them þt; oppresse them, & none comforteth them.
2 Wherefore I praysed the note dead which now
are dead, aboue the liuing, which are yet aliue.
3 And I count him note better then them both,
which hath not yet bin: for he hath not seene the
euill workes which are wrought vnder the sunne.
4 Also I beheld all trauaile, & all note perfection
of workes þt; this is þe; enuie of a man against his
neighbour: this also is vanitie & vexation of spirit.
5 The foole foldeth his hands, and note eateth vp
his owne flesh.
6 Better is an handfull with quietnesse, then
two handfuls with labour and vexation of spirit.
7 Againe I returned, and sawe vanitie vnder
the sunne.
8 There is one alone, & there is not a second,
which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there
none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be
satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For
whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of
pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill
trauaile.
9 noteTwo are better then one: for they haue
better wages for their labour.
10 For if they fal, the one wil lift vp his felow:
but wo vnto him that is alone: for he falleth, and
there is not a second to lift him vp.
11 Also if two sleepe together, then shall they
haue heate: but to one how should there be heate?
12 And if one ouercome him, two shall stand
against him: and a threefolde note coard is not easily
broken.
13 Better is a poore and wise childe, then an
olde and foolish King, which will no more be admonished.
14 For out of the note prison he commeth forth
to reigne: when as he that is note borne in his kingdome,
is made poore.
Be not rash in speache.
15 I behelde all the liuing, which walke vnder
the sunne, note with the second childe, which shall
stand vp in his place.
16 There is none note ende of all the people, nor
of all that were before them, and they that come
after, shall not reioyce in him: surely this is also
vanitie and vexation of spirit.
17 Take heede to thy note foote when thou entrest
into the House of God, and be more neere
to heare then to giue the sacrifice of note fooles: for
they knowe not that they doe euil.
