Ecclesiastes 4:3-8

³and I deemed him, that was not born yet, and saw not the evils that be done under the sun, to be more blessed than ever either.

⁴Again I beheld all the travails of men, and busynesses; and I perceived that those be open to the envy of the neighbour; and therefore in this is vanity, and superfluous busyness.

⁵A fool foldeth together his hands, and eateth his flesh,

⁶and saith, Better is an handful, with rest, than ever either hand full, with travail and torment of soul.

⁷I beheld and found also another vanity under the sun;

⁸one there is, and he hath not a second; neither a son, nor a brother; and nevertheless he ceaseth not to travail, neither his eyes be filled with riches; neither he bethinketh him, and saith, To whom travail I, and deceive my soul in goods? In this also is vanity, and the worst torment.
