KJV summary for : Ecclesiastes 4
Summary: Ecclesiastes chapter 4 reflects on the themes of isolation, work, and the futility of striving for material gain. The chapter begins with a poignant observation of the oppression and injustice present in society, noting how the oppressed have no comforters and the powerful often exploit the weak. The Preacher articulates the idea that it is better to have companionship than to live in solitude, emphasizing that two are better than one, as they can support and uplift each other. The futility of excessive toil is also addressed, as the chapter critiques those who work solely for their own gain without considering relationships and community. In the latter part of the chapter, the text discusses the fleeting nature of popularity and success, illustrating how a wise and young king can quickly lose favor and be replaced. Ultimately, the chapter underscores the importance of companionship, the transitory nature of human achievements, and a warning against unbridled ambition, leaving readers to ponder the value of meaningful relationships over the pursuit of material wealth.
