Capítulo 4

₁ |Eclesiastes 4:1| Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed — and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors — and they have no comforter.

₂ |Eclesiastes 4:2| And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

₃ |Eclesiastes 4:3| But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

₄ |Eclesiastes 4:4| And I saw that all labour and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbour. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

₅ |Eclesiastes 4:5| The fool folds his hands and ruins himself.

₆ |Eclesiastes 4:6| Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

₇ |Eclesiastes 4:7| Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:

₈ |Eclesiastes 4:8| There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless — a miserable business!

₉ |Eclesiastes 4:9| Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:

₁₀ |Eclesiastes 4:10| If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no-one to help him up!
