Ecclesiastes 4:8
ESV, NIV, KJV · TruthBound Bible
ESV
one person who has no other , either son or brother , yet there is no end to all his toil , and his eyes are never satisfied with riches , so that he never asks, For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure ? This also is vanity and an unhappy business .
NIV
There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless— a miserable business!
KJV
There is one alone , and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother : yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he , For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
