4And I saw all labor, And all the diligent work, That this is a man’s envy from his neighbor. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
5The fool folds his hands together, And eats his own flesh.
6Better is a handful of rest Than two handfuls of trouble And waywardness of spirit.
7So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.
8There is one alone, and there is not a second; Yea, he has neither son nor brother: Yet there is no end to all his labor; Neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; And for whom do I labor, And deprive my soul of good? This is also vanity, And an evil trouble.
