uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) a handful

(Some words not found in UHB: good full_of hand_of rest than,full_of fists toil and,chasing_of wind )

Alternate translation: “a small amount”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 0) two handfuls

(Some words not found in UHB: good full_of hand_of rest than,full_of fists toil and,chasing_of wind )

“a large amount.” It is understood that this refer to profit gained. Alternate translation: “two handfuls of profit” or “a large amount of profit”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) that tries to shepherd the wind

(Some words not found in UHB: good full_of hand_of rest than,full_of fists toil and,chasing_of wind )

The author speaks of everything that people do as being useless as if they were trying to control the wind. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Ecclesiastes 1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: “that is as useless as trying to control the wind”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:5-6 Fools do not even try to succeed and end up impoverished. Others frantically devote two handfuls—all their time and effort—to hard work in pursuit of fleeting wealth that they will have no time to enjoy (cp. Prov 23:4-5). Wise people practice moderation and contentment (quietness).
