Went

Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:

What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.

See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.

And again I saw all the cruel things which are done under the sun; there was the weeping of those who have evil done to them, and they had no comforter: and from the hands of the evil-doers there went out power, but they had no comforter.

These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.

All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.
