Ecclesiastes 4:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 but better than both is the one who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
4 Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from one person’s envy of another. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.[a]
5 Fools fold their hands
and consume their own flesh.
