Eccl. 4:3 Better to not exist?

[thecone137]

Ecclesiasticus
Chpt. 4:
[1] Son, defraud not the poor of alms, and turn not away thy eyes from the poor. [2] Despise not the hungry soul: and provoke not the poor in his want. [3] Afflict not the heart of the needy, and defer not to give to him that is in distress. [4] Reject not the petition of the afflicted: and turn not away thy face from the needy. [5] Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back"

Duh, what Am I Missing here?.

It’s not a valid response response, because you’re setting up a false dichotomy in the Ecclesiastes passage: Either man chooses evil or man doesn’t exist. The actual dichotomy is either man observes(not necessary chooses) evil or man doesn’t exist.

Regardless, post 19 answered my question- Thanks!
