Ecclesiastes 4:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Foolish people refuse to work.
    They sit and they do nothing.
    So they become hungry and they die.
⁶ It is good to have only a little food and be happy.
    That is better than too much hard work that gives you a lot of food.
    It is as useless as somebody who tries to catch the wind.
