Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Ecclesiastes 4:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 Then I realized that we work and do wonderful things just because we are jealous of others. This makes no more sense than chasing the wind.[a]
5 Fools will fold their hands
and starve to death.
6 Yet a very little food
eaten in peace
is better than twice as much
earned from overwork
and chasing the wind.[b]
