Evil Under the Sun
Ecc 4:8 LSB - [8] There was a certain man without a second man, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches--"And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of good?" This too is vanity, and it is a grievous endeavor.
