ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.

5. Still the
fool (the wicked oppressor) is not to be envied even in this life, who "folds his hands together" in idleness (Pr 6:10; 24:33), living on the means he wrongfully wrests from others; for such a one
eateth his own flesh--that is, is a self-tormentor, never satisfied, his spirit preying on itself (Isa 9:20; 49:26).

ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.
