Ecclesiastes 4:7

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.

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

⁸  There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

⁹  Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
