Ecclesiastes 4:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ And I thought that better is he than both of them who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil works that are done under the sun.

⁴ ¶ Again, I considered all travail and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

⁵ The fool folds his hands together and eats his own flesh.
