- 5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
- 6Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.
- 7Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
- 8There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
