Ecclesiastes 4:6

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Yet a very little food eaten in peace is better than twice as much earned from overwork and chasing the wind.

See the chapter Copy

It is better to live right and be poor than to be sinful and rich.

It's better to be honest and poor than to be dishonest and rich.

A dry crust of bread eaten in peace and quiet is better than a feast eaten where everyone argues.

I have seen it all, and everything is just as senseless as chasing the wind.

Then I decided to find out all I could about wisdom and foolishness. Soon I realized that this too was as senseless as chasing the wind.

Once again I saw that nothing on earth makes sense.
