Ecclesiastes 4
(NIV)
iS THAT AN ENGAGEMENT RING..?
LIFE/ATTENTION IS THE ADDICTION..?
i SEE A LEFT EYE;
TAO~g(6!9)d~OG
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE..?
Oppression, Toil, Friendlessness
TYGER! TYGER! BURNING BRIGHT
IN THE FOREST OF THE NIGHT...
WHAT IMMORTAL HAND OR EYE...
DARE FRAME THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY!

4 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 And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
3 But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun.
and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
and they have no comforter.
2 And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
3 But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun.
4 And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
5 Fools fold their hands
and ruin themselves.
6 Better one handful with tranquillity
than two handfuls with toil
and chasing after the wind.
and ruin themselves.
6 Better one handful with tranquillity
than two handfuls with toil
and chasing after the wind.
7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
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!
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 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Never wise one-half of two equals taking advantage the upper hand; the other "ABEL", although fair, not always raising two objections..?
Did life not begin the day we all be "CAIN" witness to death however briefly "ABEL" a witness to life..?
The plans of the heart may belong to man; but the answer of the lord is from the tongue..?
My God! My God!
Why have you forsaken me..?
i AM
on everyone's side;
but only up to a point..?
