Ecclesiastes 4:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Again I saw something here on earth that was senseless:
⁸ I saw a person who had no family.
    He had no son or brother.
He always worked hard.
    But he was never satisfied with what he had.
He never asked himself, “For whom am I working so hard?
    Why don’t I let myself enjoy life?”
This also is very sad and senseless.
