Ecclesiastes 4:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 4

5 El necio dobla sus manos y come su carne.

6 Mas vale el un puño lleno con descanso, que ambos puños llenos con trabajo y aflicción de espíritu.

7 Yo me torné otra vez, y vi vanidad debajo del sol.

8 Está un hombre solo y sin sucesor; que ni tiene hijo ni hermano; mas nunca cesa de trabajar, ni sus ojos se hartan de sus riquezas, [ni se pregunta]: ¿Para quién trabajo yo, y defraudo mi alma del bien? También esto es vanidad, y duro trabajo.

9 Mejores son dos que uno; porque tienen mejor paga de su trabajo.
