Ecclesiastes 4:4

CEB

NIV

4 I also observed that people work hard and become good at what they do only out of mutual envy. This too is pointless, just wind chasing.
4 And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
