Discovery BoxEcclesiastes 4:3-16
Yea, better
<02896>
<02896>
[is he] than both
<08147>
<08147>
they, which hath not yet
<05728>
<05728>
the evil
<07451>
<07451>
work
<04639>
<04639>
under the sun
<08121>_.
<08121>_.
all travail
<05999>_,
<05999>_,
and every right
<03788>
<03788>
work
<04639>_,
<04639>_,
that for this a man
<0376>
<0376>
is envied
<07068>
<07068>
of his neighbour
<07453>_.
<07453>_.
This [is] also vanity
<01892>
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
{every...: Heb. all the rightness of work} {for this...: Heb. this is the envy of a man from his neighbour}<07307>_.
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] an handful
<03709>
<03709>
[with] quietness
<05183>_,
<05183>_,
than both the hands
<02651>
<02651>
full
<04393>
<04393>
[with] travail
<05999>
<05999>
and vexation
<07469>
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
<07307>_.
There is
<03426>
<03426>
one
<0259>
<0259>
[alone], and [there is] not a second
<08145>_;
<08145>_;
yea, he hath neither child
<01121>
<01121>
nor brother
<0251>_:
<0251>_:
yet [is there] no end
<07093>
<07093>
of all his labour
<05999>_;
<05999>_;
neither is his eye
<05869>
<05869>
with riches
<06239>_;
<06239>_;
neither [saith he], For whom do I labour
<06001>_,
<06001>_,
my soul
<05315>
<05315>
of good
<02896>_?
<02896>_?
This [is] also vanity
<01892>_,
<01892>_,
yea, it [is] a sore
<07451>
<07451>
travail
<06045>_.
<06045>_.
Two
<08147>
<08147>
[are] better
<02896>
<02896>
than one
<0259>_;
<0259>_;
because they have
<03426>
<03426>
a good
<02896>
<02896>
reward
<07939>
<07939>
for their labour
<05999>_.
<05999>_.
the one
<0259>
<0259>
his fellow
<02270>_:
<02270>_:
but woe
<0337>
<0337>
to him [that is] alone
<0259>
<0259>
for [he hath] not another
<08145>
<08145>
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] a poor
<04542>
<04542>
and a wise
<02450>
<02450>
child
<03206>
<03206>
than an old
<02205>
<02205>
and foolish
<03684>
<03684>
king
<04428>_,
{who...: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished}<04428>_,
in his kingdom
<04438>
<04438>
