Ecclesiastes 4

The Preacher observes the oppression under the sun, where the oppressed weep without comforter while oppressors hold power, concluding the dead are better off than the living and those never born better still; he notes toil arises from envy, folly from idleness, and praises contentment over grasping labor[1][2][3]. He laments the solitary rich man without heirs to enjoy his wealth, extols companionship as two are better than one for support, warmth, and strength—a threefold cord unbroken—and remarks on the fleeting favor of a young successor replacing an old king[1][2].
