Ecclesiastes 4:6 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

One handful of peaceful repose Is better than two fistfuls of worried work— More spitting into the wind.

Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

Maybe so, but I say it is better to be content with what little you have. Otherwise, you will always be struggling for more, and that is like chasing the wind.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.

Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

One hand full of rest and patience is better than two fists full of labor and chasing after the wind.

And yet, “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.”

Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.
