<t /><p class="poetry">Two people are better than one,p> <p class="poetry">because they can reap<n id="1" /> more benefit<n id="2" /> from their labor.p>

<p class="poetry">Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm,p> <p class="poetry">but how can one person keep warm by himself?p>

<t /><p class="poetry">So<n id="1" /> I again considered<n id="2" /> all the oppression<n id="3" /> that continually occurs<n id="4" /> on earth.<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">This is what I saw:<n id="6" />p> <p class="poetry">The oppressed<n id="7" /> were in tears,<n id="8" /> but no one was comforting them;p> <p class="poetry">no one delivers<n id="9" /> them from the power of their oppressors.<n id="10" />p>

<p class="poetry">No one remembers the former events,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">nor will anyone remember<n id="2" /> the events that are yet to happen;<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">they will not be remembered by the future generations.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">I also thought to myself, &#8220;It is<n id="1" /> for the sake of people,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">so God can clearly<n id="3" /> show<n id="4" /> them that they are like animals.p>

<p class="poetry">For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything;p> <p class="poetry">they have no further reward &#8211; and even the memory of them disappears.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">What they loved,<n id="1" /> as well as what they hated<n id="2" /> and envied,<n id="3" /> perished long ago,p> <p class="poetry">and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">For the fate of humans<n id="1" /> and the fate of animals are the same:p> <p class="poetry">As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath.p> <p class="poetry">There is no advantage for humans over animals,p> <p class="poetry">for both are fleeting.p>
