Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
