Ecclesiastes 4:6: A Handful With Quietness
Ecclesiastes 4:6 does not praise laziness or condemn work. It compares two ways of living and calls the smaller, quieter portion the better one, set against the envy and endless labor around it.
Psalm 127:1: When God Builds the House
Psalm 127:1 does not condemn building and watching. It says they are empty labor when treated as the thing that finally holds a home together. The blessed home rests on God's work, not the householder's anxiety.
