Ecclesiastes 4:3-5

American Standard Version

³ yea, ^[a]better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. ⁴ Then I saw all labor and every ^[b]skilful work, that ^[c]for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. ⁵ The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
