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
21st Century King James Version
4 Again, I considered all travail and every right work for which a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5 The fool foldeth his hands together and eateth his own flesh.
6 Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of the spirit.
