Ecclesiastes 4:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ One hand full of rest is ^(A)better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

⁷ Then I looked again at futility under the sun. ⁸ There was a man without a ^[a]dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, ^(B)his eyes were not satisfied with riches, and he never asked, “And ^(C)for whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is futility, and it is an ^(D)unhappy task.
