6 aBetter a handful with quietness
Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.
Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:
8 There is one alone, without1 companion:
He has neither son nor brother.
Yet there is no end to all his labors,
Nor is his aeye satisfied with riches.
But bhe never asks,
“For whom do I toil and deprive myself of cgood?”
This also is vanity and a1 grave misfortune.
