00:00.000 --> 00:00.960
Chapter Four.

00:02.020 --> 00:05.180
So I returned and considered all the
oppressions that are done under the sun.

00:05.560 --> 00:09.540
And behold, the tears of such as were
oppressed, and they had no comforter.

00:09.860 --> 00:13.620
And on the side of their oppressors there
was power, but they had no comforter.

00:14.280 --> 00:17.460
Wherefore I praise the dead which are
already dead more than the living,

00:17.940 --> 00:18.780
which are yet alive.

00:19.540 --> 00:25.000
Yea, better is he than both they which
have not yet been, who have not seen the

00:25.000 --> 00:27.020
evil work that is done under the sun.

00:27.580 --> 00:32.480
Again I considered all travail,
and every right work, that for this a man

00:32.480 --> 00:33.580
is envied of his neighbour.

00:34.700 --> 00:36.840
This is also vanity and vexation of
spirit.

00:37.640 --> 00:40.600
The fool foldeth his hands together and
eateth his own flesh.

00:41.300 --> 00:45.320
Better is an handful with quietness,
than both the hands full with travail and

00:45.320 --> 00:46.300
vexation of spirit.

00:47.040 --> 00:49.100
Then I returned and I saw vanity under the
sun.

00:49.940 --> 00:52.400
There is one alone, and there is not a
second.

00:53.240 --> 00:55.320
Yea, he hath neither child nor brother.

00:56.100 --> 00:58.340
Yet is there no end of all his labour.

00:59.200 --> 01:01.720
Neither is his eye satisfied with riches.

01:02.720 --> 01:07.280
Neither saith he, for whom do I labour and
bereave my soul of good.

01:08.220 --> 01:09.500
This is also vanity.

01:10.260 --> 01:12.080
Yea, it is a sore travail.

01:12.940 --> 01:16.500
Two are better than one, because they have
a good reward for their labour.

01:17.160 --> 01:19.460
For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow.

01:20.000 --> 01:24.040
But woe to him that is alone when he
falleth, for he hath not another to help

01:24.040 --> 01:24.400
him up.

01:24.960 --> 01:27.900
Again, if two lie together, then they have
heat.

01:28.520 --> 01:29.960
But how can one be warm alone?

01:30.560 --> 01:33.320
And if one prevail against him,
two shall withstand him.

01:33.620 --> 01:36.020
And a threefold cord is not quickly
broken.

01:36.700 --> 01:41.140
Better is a poor and a wise child than an
old and foolish king who will no more be

01:41.140 --> 01:41.640
admonished.

01:42.460 --> 01:46.580
For out of prison he cometh to reign,
whereas also he that is born in his

01:46.580 --> 01:48.040
kingdom becometh poor.

01:49.020 --> 01:52.900
I considered all the living which walk
under the sun, with the second child that

01:52.900 --> 01:54.140
shall stand up in his stead.

01:54.400 --> 01:56.060
There is no end of all the people.

01:56.820 --> 01:58.720
Even of all that hath been before them.

01:59.360 --> 02:01.700
They also that come after shall not
rejoice in him.

02:02.400 --> 02:04.800
Surely this also is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
