Went

Go to the ant, lazy! Consider its ways and be wise.

[Just] as I have seen, plowers of mischief and sowers of trouble will reap it.

"Look, we have searched this out--it [is] true; hear it and know [it] {yourself}."

"I will show you, listen to me; and what I have seen, I will tell--

I was a youth, but I am [now] old; yet I have not seen [the] righteous forsaken or his children {begging for} bread.

[The] upright see [it] and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

I looked again, and I saw all the oppression that occurs under the sun. {I saw the tears of the oppressed-- no one comforts them! Those who oppress them are powerful-- no one can comfort them}!

I have seen all these things in my vain life: Sometimes a righteous man perishes in [spite of] his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked man lives a long life in [spite of] his evil.

I saw all this as I applied my heart to all the deeds done under the sun: {sometimes those in authority harm others}.
