So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.

There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, [namely], wealth kept for its owner to his [own] hurt.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is abundant with man.

There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all. Yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that [they go] to the dead.

And moreover I saw under the sun: [In] the place of judgment, wickedness [was] there; and in the place of righteousness, there was godliness.

So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter.
