Ecclesiastes 4:3-6

1. 3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

2. 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.

3. 5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

4. 6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
