Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
New International Reader's Version

4 I also saw that a person works hard and accomplishes a lot. But they do it only because they want what another person has. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

5 Foolish people fold their hands and don’t work.
    And that destroys them.
6 One handful with peace and quiet
    is better than two handfuls with hard work.
    Working too hard is like chasing the wind.
