KJV - Ecclesiastes 4:8
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.
There's only one person, with no family members. They work hard but never finish, and their eyes aren't filled with riches. They wonder why they work so hard and give up happiness. This is pointless and a great struggle.
King James Version
