Strongs On/Off
Context
Labor Motivated by Greed
4:7 So I again considered another futile thing on earth :
4:8 A man who is all alone with no companion , he has no children nor siblings ; yet there is no end to all his toil , and he is never satisfied with riches . He laments, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure ?” This also is futile and a burdensome task !
