Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
The Message
Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
The Message
4 Then I observed all the work and ambition motivated by envy. What a waste! Smoke. And spitting into the wind.
5 The fool sits back and takes it easy,
His sloth is slow suicide.
6 One handful of peaceful repose
Is better than two fistfuls of worried work—
More spitting into the wind.
The Message (MSG)
