"The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh."
In context
3Yea, better than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6Better an handful quietness, than both the hands full travail and vexation of spirit.
7Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
