Ecclesiastes 4:8
New King James Version
8 There is one alone, without [a]companion:
He has neither son nor brother.
Yet there is no end to all his labors,
Nor is his (A)eye satisfied with riches.
But (B)he never asks,
“For whom do I toil and deprive myself of (C)good?”
This also is vanity and a [b]grave misfortune.

Ecclesiastes 7:24-26
New King James Version
24 (A)As for that which is far off and (B)exceedingly deep,
Who can find it out?
25 (C)I applied my heart to know,
To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things,
To know the wickedness of folly,
Even of foolishness and madness.
26 (D)And I find more bitter than death
The woman whose heart is snares and nets,
Whose hands are fetters.
[a]He who pleases God shall escape from her,
But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11
New King James Version
10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
11 When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?
Ecclesiastes 4:1-4
New King James Version
The Uselessness of Selfish Toil
4 Then I returned and considered all the (A)oppression that is done under the sun:
And look! The tears of the oppressed,
But they have no comforter—
[a]On the side of their oppressors there is power,
But they have no comforter.
2 (B)Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead,
More than the living who are still alive.
3 (C)Yet, better than both is he who has never existed,
Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
The Vanity of Selfish Toil
4 Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

New King James Version
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was (A)vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.
Proverbs 30:15-16
New King James Version
15 The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
16 (A)The[a] grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
