5
The fool folds his hands And consumes his own flesh.
6
Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

8
There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.
9
Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.
