Ecclesiastes 4:4

²  Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

³  Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

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.

⁶  Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
