Ecclesiastes 4:7 BBE

⁵  The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.

⁶  One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.

⁷  Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.

⁸  It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

⁹  Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.
