Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 I have seen that every labor and every (A)success of the work is the result of jealousy between a man and his neighbor. This too is [a](B)vanity and striving after wind. 5 The fool (C)folds his hands in embrace and (D)consumes his own flesh. 6 One hand full of rest is (E)better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Then I saw all labor and every [a]skilful work, that [b]for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. 6 Better is a handful, [c]with quietness, than two handfuls [d]with labor and striving after wind.
