Ecclesiastes 4:7
| ← Ecclesiastes 4:6 | Ecclesiastes 4:7 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 4:8 → |
|---|---|---|
Better [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
|
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
|
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.
