Ecclesiastes 4:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And I count him [a]better than them both, which hath not yet been: for he hath not seen the evil works which are wrought under the sun.
4 Also I beheld all travail, and all [b]perfection of works, that this is the envy of a man against his neighbor: this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
5 The fool foldeth his hands, and [c]eateth up his own flesh.
