Ecclesiastes 4:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ And I count him who has not even been born as better than them both. For he has not seen the evil works which are wrought under the Sun.

⁴ Also I beheld all work, and all perfection of work, and that this is the envy of a man against his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping at the wind.

⁵ The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.
