Ecclesiastes 4:4-8 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

4. Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this 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 toil and vexation of spirit.

7. Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

8. There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yes, it is a grievous labor.
