Ecclesiastes 6:8-10

Darby Translation

⁸ For what advantage hath the wise above the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

⁹ Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.

¹⁰ That which is hath already been named; and what man is, is known, and that he cannot contend with him that is mightier than he.
