  2. Ecclesiastes 4:1a Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:

  3. 1. The struggleof those on the bottom.

  4. Ecclesiastes 4:1b-2 I saw the tears of the oppressed— and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors— and they have no comforter. And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

  5. Ecclesiastes 4:3-4 But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun. And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

  6. 2. The stressof those on the top. 1. The struggleof those on the bottom.

  7. Ecclesiastes 4:5-8a Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves. Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother.

  8. 3. The sadnessof those who standalone. 2. The stressof those on the top.

  9. Ecclesiastes 4:8b There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless— a miserable business!

  10. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely. 3. The sadnessof those who standalone.

  11. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10a Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.

  12. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely. …in my work

  13. Ecclesiastes 4:10b But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

  14. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely. …in my work …in my walk

  15. Ecclesiastes 4:11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

  16. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely. …in my work …in my walk …through my warmth

  17. Ecclesiastes 4:12a Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

  18. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely. …in my work …in my walk …through my warmth …in my welfare

  19. Ecclesiastes 4:12b A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

  20. 5. The strandis a saviorwho will not abandonus. 4. The solutionis in sharing resourcesfreely.
