Ecclesiastes 4:6
Berean Standard Bible
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and pursuit of the wind.
Context
4I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind. 5The fool folds his hands
and consumes his own flesh. 6Better one handful with tranquility
than two handfuls with toil and pursuit of the wind. 7Again, I saw futility under the sun. 8There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
