Ecclesiastes 4:4-8
4IH589 sawH7200 that allH3605 laborH5999 andH853 successH3788H4639 spring fromH3588H1931 a man’sH376 envyH7068 of his neighborH7453. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892 and a pursuitH7469 of the windH7307.
5The foolH3684 foldsH2263 his handsH3027and consumesH398 his own fleshH1320.6BetterH2896 one handfulH4393H3709 with tranquilityH5183than two handfulsH4393H2651 with toilH5999 and pursuitH7469 of the windH7307.
7AgainH7725, IH589 sawH7200 futilityH1892 underH8478 the sunH8121. 8There isH3426 aH259 man all aloneH369H8145, withoutH369 evenH1571 a sonH1121 or brotherH251. And though there is noH369 endH7093 to his laborH5999, his eyesH5869 are stillH1571 notH3808 contentH7646 with his wealthH6239: “For whomH4310 do IH589 toilH6001 and bereaveH2637 my soulH5315 of enjoymentH2896?” ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892—a miserableH7451H1931 taskH6045.
