Ecclesiastes 4:6-8

American Standard Version

⁶ Better is a handful, ^[a]with quietness, than two handfuls ^[b]with labor and striving after wind. ⁷ Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun. ⁸ There 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.
