3 And still better than bothis he who has not been,who has not seen the evil deedsthat are done under the sun.
4 Then I saw that all toil and every skillful work come from one man’s envy of another. This also is vanity and like chasing the wind.
5 The fool folds his handsand eats his own flesh.
6 Better is a full hand of quietnessthan handfuls of toil and chasing the wind.
7 Again, I saw vanity under the sun:
8 There is a man who is alone,neither having son or brother,and there is not an end to all his toil,and his eyes are not satisfied with riches to say,“For whom do I laborand cause my life to lack good things?”Also this is vanityand a burdensome task.
9 Two are better than one,because there is a good reward for their labor together.
