Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
New King James Version
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.
5 (A)The fool folds his hands
And consumes his own flesh.
6 (B)Better a handful with quietness
Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
New International Version
4 And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(A)
