1But I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter.
2Wherefore I praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive;
3but better than they both is he that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4Again, I considered all labour and all excelling in work, that it is a man's rivalry with his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6Better is a handful of quietness, than both the hands full of labour and striving after wind.
