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.
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}
CurseH7043 not the kingH4428, no not in thy thoughtH4093; and curseH7043 not the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904: for a birdH5775 of the airH8064 shall carryH3212 the voiceH6963, and that which hathH1167 wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697. {thought: or, conscience}

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.
And moreover I sawH7200 under the sunH8121 the placeH4725 of judgmentH4941, that wickednessH7562 was there; and the placeH4725 of righteousnessH6664, that iniquityH7562 was there.
And moreover I sawH7200 under the sunH8121 the placeH4725 of judgmentH4941, that wickednessH7562 was there; and the placeH4725 of righteousnessH6664, that iniquityH7562 was there.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
AndG1161 devoutG2126 menG435 carriedG4792 StephenG4736 to his burial, andG2532 madeG4160 greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846.
I lookedH5027 on my right handH3225, and beheldH7200, but there was no man that would knowH5234 me: refugeH4498 failedH6 me; no man caredH1875 for my soulH5315. {I looked…: or, Look on the right hand, and see} {failed…: Heb. perished from me} {cared…: Heb. sought after}
ReproachH2781 hath brokenH7665 my heartH3820; and I am full of heavinessH5136: and I lookedH6960 for some to take pityH5110, but there was none; and for comfortersH5162, but I foundH4672 none. {to take…: Heb. to lament with me}
There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troublingH7267; and there the wearyH3019+H3581 be at restH5117. {weary: Heb. wearied in strength}
There the prisonersH615 restH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
