Ecclesiastes 4:4-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
4
I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is
the result of
rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind.
5
The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.
King James Version
Chapter 4
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.
5
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
4
I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person's jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
5
The fool folds his arms and consumes his own flesh.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
4
Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless — like chasing the wind.
5
'Fools fold their idle hands,
leading them to ruin.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
4
Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
5
The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
New International Version
Chapter 4
4
And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
5
Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
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
The fool folds his hands
And consumes his own flesh.
