Ecclesiastes 4:5-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
5
The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.
6
One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.
7

Chapter 4
5
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6

with

7
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

New King James Version
Chapter 4
5
The fool folds his hands
And consumes his own flesh.
6
Better a handful
with
quietness
Than both hands full,
together with
toil and grasping for the wind.
7
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:
