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}!

What was, its name was called already, and it was known that it is man: and he shall not be able to contend with the powerful above him.

Wheresoever the word of a king, it is powerful: and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do?

Wisdom given as strength to a wise person is better than having ten powerful men in the city.

And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them, and I withheld not my heart from all gladness; for my heart rejoiced from all my labor: and this was my portion from all my labor.

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them.
