Labor Motivated by Envy

4  Then I considered all the skillful work that is done:

Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another.

This also is profitless – like chasing the wind.

5  The fool folds his hands and does no work,

so he has nothing to eat but his own flesh.

6  Better is one handful with some rest

than two hands full of toil and chasing the wind.
