And I turned back, and I shall see all the oppressions which are doing under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and none comforting to them; and from the hand of those oppressing them was power, and none comforting to them.

Good a poor and wise child above an old and foolish king, who knew not more to receive instruction.

For from the house of those turning away he came forth to reign; for also he being born in his kingdom became poor.

If thou shalt see the oppression of the poor one, and the spoiling of judgment and justice in a province, thou shalt not wonder at the inclination: for the high one above the high one is watching, and the high ones over them.

For what will remain to the wise one more than the foolish one? what to the poor that shall know to go before the living

Wisdom shall strengthen to the wise one more than ten having power which were in the city.

No man having power in spirit to restrain the spirit: and no power in the day of death: and no sending forth in war; and injustice shall not deliver its possessors.

All this I saw, and giving my heart to every work which was done under the sun: a time which man had power overman for evil to him.

And a poor wise man was found in it, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; and not a man remembered that poor man.

And I said, Wisdom is good above strength: and the wisdom of the poor one was despised, and his words not heard.

There is an evil I saw under the sun as an error going forth from before him having power:

If a serpent will bite without magic; and no pre?minence to the possessor of the tongue.

If the clouds shall be filled with rain, they shall pour out upon the earth: and if the tree shall fall in the south or in the north, the place the tree shall fall, there it shall be.
