Say not thou, 'What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this.

For many times also hath thy heart known that thou thyself also hast reviled others.

See life with the wife whom thou hast loved, all the days of the life of thy vanity, that He hath given to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity, for it is thy portion in life, even of thy labour that thou art labouring at under the sun.
