Went

Go to the ant, thou sluggard, observe her ways, and be wise;

So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:

Lo! as for this, we have searched it out - so, it is, Hear it, and know, thou, for thyself.

I will tell thee - hear me, Since this I have seen, I must needs declare it.

Young, have I been, moreover am old, - Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:

The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.

Then again, I, considered all the oppressive deeds which were done under the sun, - and lo! the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter, and, on the side of their oppressing, is power, and they have no comforter.

Everything, had I seen, in my days of vanity, - Here was a righteous man, perishing in his righteousness, and there was a lawless man, continuing long in his wickedness.

All this, had I seen, and tried to apply my heart to every work which was done under the sun, - at such time as one man had power over another man, to his hurt.

By two lazy arms, the framework sinketh in, - and, by the hanging down of the hands, the house may leak.
