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)

5 Fools fold their hands(B)
    and ruin themselves.
6 Better one handful with tranquillity
    than two handfuls with toil(C)
    and chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
Lexham English Bible

People Need Balance in Their Approach to Labor

4 I also realized that all of the toil and all of the skillful work that is done—it is envy between one man and another.[a] This also is vanity and chasing wind!

5 The fool refuses to work with his hands,
    so he has nothing to eat except his own skin![b]
6 Better is one handful with peace
    than two fists full with toil and chasing wind.
