So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.
