So I returnedH7725, and consideredH7200 all the oppressionsH6217 that are doneH6213 under the sunH8121: and behold the tearsH1832 of such as were oppressedH6231, and they had no comforterH5162; and on the sideH3027 of their oppressorsH6231 there was powerH3581; but they had no comforterH5162. {side: Heb. hand}
Wherefore I praisedH7623 the deadH4191 which are alreadyH3528 deadH4191 more than the livingH2416 which are yetH5728 aliveH2416.
Yea, betterH2896 is he than bothH8147 they, which hath not yetH5728 been, who hath not seenH7200 the evilH7451 workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121.
Again, I consideredH7200 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} {for this…: Heb. this is the envy of a man from his neighbour}
The foolH3684 foldethH2263 his handsH3027 togetherH2263, and eatethH398 his own fleshH1320.
BetterH2896 is an handfulH3709 with quietnessH5183, than both the handsH2651 fullH4393 with travailH5999 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.
Then I returnedH7725, and I sawH7200 vanityH1892 under the sunH8121.
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 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239; neither saith he, For whom do I labourH6001, and bereaveH2637 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 fallH5307, the oneH259 will lift upH6965 his fellowH2270: but woeH337 to him that is aloneH259 when he fallethH5307; for he hath not anotherH8145 to help him upH6965.
AgainH1571, if twoH8147 lie togetherH7901, then they have heatH2552: but how can oneH259 be warmH3179 alone?
And if oneH259 prevailH8630 against him, twoH8147 shall withstandH5975 him; and a threefoldH8027 cordH2339 is not quicklyH4120 brokenH5423.
BetterH2896 is a poorH4542 and a wiseH2450 childH3206 than an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 kingH4428, who willH3045 no more be admonishedH2094. {who…: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished}
For out of prisonH631+H1004 he comethH3318 to reignH4427; whereas also he that is bornH3205 in his kingdomH4438 becometh poorH7326.
I consideredH7200 all the livingH2416 which walkH1980 under the sunH8121, with the secondH8145 childH3206 that shall stand upH5975 in his stead.
There is no endH7093 of all the peopleH5971, even of all that have been beforeH6440 them: they also that come afterH314 shall not rejoiceH8055 in him. Surely this also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7475 of spiritH7307.

Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130, and they brought him hastilyH7323 out of the dungeonH953: and he shavedH1548 himself, and changedH2498 his raimentH8071, and came inH935 unto PharaohH6547. {brought…: Heb. made him run}
And he took awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004; he even took awayH3947 all: and he took awayH3947 all the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141. {officers: or, overseers}

And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458. {perish…: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a one as thisH2088 is, a manH376 in whomH834 the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 is?
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, ForasmuchH310 as GodH430 hath shewedH3045 thee all this, there is none so discreetH995 and wiseH2450 as thou art:
Thou shalt beH1961 over my houseH1004, and according unto thy wordH6310 shall all my peopleH5971 be ruledH5401: only in the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, SeeH7200, I have setH5414 thee over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And PharaohH6547 took offH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it upon Joseph'sH3130 handH3027, and arrayedH3847 him in vesturesH899 of fine linenH8336, and putH7760 a goldH2091 chainH7242 about his neckH6677; {fine…: or, silk}
And he made him to rideH7392 in the secondH4932 chariotH4818 which he had; and they criedH7121 before himH6440, Bow the kneeH86: and he madeH5414 him ruler over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Bow…: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I am PharaohH6547, and withoutH1107 thee shall no manH376 lift upH7311 his handH3027 or footH7272 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 in their stead brasenH5178 shieldsH4043, and committedH6485 them unto the handsH3027 of the chiefH8269 of the guardH7323, which keptH8104 the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004. {guard: Heb. runners}

JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
And PharaohnechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {that…: or, because he reigned} {put the…: Heb. set a fine upon the land}
And PharaohnechohH6549 made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079, and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947: and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and liftethH7311 the needyH34 out of the dunghillH830;
In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 against him bandsH1416 of the ChaldeesH3778, and bandsH1416 of the SyriansH758, and bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. {officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}

And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the yearH8141 that he began to reignH4427 did lift upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 out of prisonH1004+H3608;
