In context

6Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and pursuit of the wind.

8There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
