Ecclesiastes 4:4-6

4I have seen that every labor and every 1skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is 23vanity and striving after wind. 5The fool 4folds his hands and 5consumes his own flesh. 6One hand full of rest is 6better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.
