Ecclesiastes 4:8

Parallel Verses
NASB:
There was a certain man without a dependent, 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 he never asked, "And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?" This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.
KJV:
There is one
alone
, and
there is
not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet
is there
no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither
saith he
, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This
is
also vanity, yea, it
is
a sore travail.
