6 Better one handful with tranquillity

than two handfuls with toil

and chasing after the wind.

6 Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.

6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

6 And yet,

“Better to have one handful with quietness

than two handfuls with hard work

and chasing the wind.”

6 Better a handful with quietness

Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

6 Maybe so, but I say it is better to be content

with what little you have.

Otherwise, you will always be struggling for more,

and that is like chasing the wind.

6 Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.

6 Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full with labour and pursuit of the wind.

6 One handful of peace and quiet is better than two handfuls of hard work and of trying to catch the wind. 

6 Better one handful with rest

than two handfuls with effort and a pursuit of the wind.

6 Better is a handful with quiet

than two handfuls with toil,

and a chasing after wind.

6 Better is one handful with peace

than two fists full with toil and chasing wind.

6 One handful with peace and quiet

is better than two handfuls with hard work.

Working too hard is like chasing the wind.
