Ecclesiastes 4:4-8

4And I sawH7200 all labour, and all success of workH4639, that it is man's jealousyH7068 of his neighbour. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and pursuit of the windH7307.

5The foolH3684 foldeth his handsH3027 together, and eateth his own fleshH1320.

6Better is a handful with quietness, than both handsH3709 full with labour and pursuit of the windH7307.

7And I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 vanityH1892 under the sunH8121.

8There is oneH259 [alone] and without a secondH8145; alsoH1571 he hath neither sonH1121 nor brotherH251: yet is there no endH7093 of all his labour, neither is his eyeH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239, and [he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and a grievous occupation.
