Ecclesiastes 4:4

4 And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 4:6

6 `Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls [with] labour and vexation of spirit.'

Ecclesiastes 4:16

16 there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
