21:004:002 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than
the living which are yet alive.
21:004:003 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who
hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
21:004:004 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
21:004:005 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
21:004:006 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
21:004:007 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
21:004:008 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
21:004:009 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
21:004:010 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
21:004:011 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can
one be warm alone?
