Ecclesiastes 4:4-8

4 And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

 5 The fool folds his hands

and ruins himself.

 6 Better one handful with tranquillity

than two handfuls with toil

and chasing after the wind.

 7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:

 8 There was a man all alone;

he had neither son nor brother.

There was no end to his toil,

yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.

“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,

“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”

This too is meaningless—

a miserable business!
