Ecclesiastes 4:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 Better is a handful with quiet
than two handfuls with toil,
and a chasing after wind.[a]
7 Again, I saw vanity under the sun: 8 the case of solitary individuals, without sons or brothers; yet there is no end to all their toil, and their eyes are never satisfied with riches. “For whom am I toiling,” they ask, “and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy business.
