Ecclesiastes 4:7
Berean Standard Bible
Again, I saw futility under the sun.
Context
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. 9Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.
