Ecclesiastes 4:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Better one handful with relaxation, than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.

⁷ I looked again and saw another example of meaningless vapor under the sun: ⁸ There was a single person all alone, without even a son or a brother, and there was no end to all his hard work. His eyes also were not satisfied with wealth. “So for whom am I working so hard,” he asks, “and depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is vapor and a miserable task.
