Ecclesiastes 4:16
| ← Ecclesiastes 4:15 | Ecclesiastes 4:16 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 5:1 → |
|---|---|---|
I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
|
There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
|
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
