Ecclesiastes 4:4-8

I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind.

The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.

One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

Then I looked again at futility under the sun.

There was a man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches, and he never asked, “And for whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is futility, and it is an unhappy task.
