Ecclesiastes 4:4-8

4Again, I consideredH7200 all labourH5999, and every rightH3788 workH4639, that for this a manH376 is enviedH7068 by his neighbourH7453. This is also vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.12 5The foolH3684 foldethH2263 his handsH3027 togetherH2263, and eatethH398 his own fleshH1320. 6BetterH2896 is an handfulH3709 with quietnessH5183, than both the handsH2651 fullH4393 with toilH5999 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.

7Then I returnedH7725, and I sawH7200 vanityH1892 under the sunH8121. 8There isH3426 oneH259 alone, and there is not a secondH8145; yea, he hath neither childH1121 nor brotherH251: yet is there no endH7093 of all his labourH5999; neither is his eyeH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239; neither saith he, For whom do I labourH6001, and bereaveH2637 my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This is also vanityH1892, yea, it is a grievousH7451 labourH6045.
