There is a sore euill which I haue seene vnder the Sun, namely riches kept for the owners therof to their hurt.

But those riches perish by euill trauell; and he begetteth a sonne, and there is nothing in his hand.

And this also is a sore euill, that in all points as he came, so shall hee goe: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the winde?

1611 marginal noteChap.1.2.

¶ There is an euill which I haue seen vnder the Sun, and it is common among men:

A man to whom God hath giuen riches, wealth and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that he desireth, yet God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a stranger eateth it: Th is is vanitie, and it is an euill disease.

Bee not hastie to goe out of his sight: stand not in an euill thing, for he doeth whatsoeuer pleaseth him.

Whoso keepeth the commandement, shall feele no euill thing: and a wise mans heart discerneth both time and iudgement.
