What has been is already present, and what is to be has already been. And God seeks after the pursued. Another thing I beheld under the sun: Where judgment sits – the evils are there. Where justice sits – evil is there. I said to my mind: God will judge the righteous and the wicked alike, for an hour comes for every deed, for all that is done, there. And I said to my mind concerning the sons of man: God set them apart, that they might find they are nothing but cattle. For man's fate is the fate of cattle; one fate awaits them both, one's death is like the other's death, and their spirits are alike, and man's pre-eminence over beast is nothing, for all of it is but merest vapor. All end in one place; all come forth from dust and all return to dust. Who can say that a man's spirit rises upward while a beast's spirit sinks into the ground? I beheld that no good exists at all save for man to take pleasure in his works; for that is his portion. For who will bring him to behold what will become of it all when he is gone? But I turned again and beheld all those made victims under the sun. There they were: the victims' tears and none to console them; might belonging to their oppressors, and none to console them. I judged the dead more fortunate, already having died, than the living who still live. Yet happier than either are those still unborn, for they have beheld none of the evil worked under the sun. And I beheld every toil that is done, every skill – beheld that all of it is but one man's envy of another; this too is merest vapor and chasing the wind. The fool folds his arms and consumes his own flesh. Better a handful of repose than two fists full of toil and chasing the wind. I turned again and beheld merest vapor under the sun. Sometimes a man is solitary, having no companion, not even a child, or a brother, and all his labor may have no end. Nor will his eye ever have its fill of wealth; and for whom, after all, am I toiling, depriving my spirit of good? This too is merest vapor and a miserable affair. A pair is better than one, for they gain some worthy yield from all their toil. Should they fall, each will help the other rise. But pity him who falls alone, for who will ever lift him? Two lying down together stay warm; but how can one ever be warm"
