Ecclesiastes 4:4
Compare all
2 aTherefore I praised the dead who were already dead,
More than the living who are still alive. 
3 aYet, better than both is he who has never existed,
Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.  

The Vanity of Selfish Toil

4 Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
5 aThe fool folds his hands
And consumes his own flesh. 
6 aBetter a handful with quietness
Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.
