Ecclesiastes 4:6

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

Better is an handful with quietness, than two handfuls with labour and striving after wind.

See the chapter Copy

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

Better is a little with righteousness Than great revenues with injustice.

Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith, Than an house full of feasting with strife.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.

Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
