传道书 Ecclesiastes 4 << || >>

	4:1	So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors power; but they had no comforter.
	4:2	Wherefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.
	4:3	Yes, better is than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
	4:4	Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also vanity and vexation of spirit.
	4:5	The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
	4:6	Better a handful quietness, than both the hands full toil and vexation of spirit.
	4:7	Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
	4:8	There is one , and not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither , For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This also vanity, yes, it a grievous labor.
	4:9	Two better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
	4:10	For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him alone when he falleth; for not another to help him to rise.
	4:11	Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm ?
	4:12	And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
	4:13	Better a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
	4:14	For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also born in his kingdom becometh poor.
	4:15	I considered all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
	4:16	no end of all the people, of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also vanity and vexation of spirit.
