Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ It is better to see what you have
    than to want more.
Wanting more is useless—
    like chasing the wind.

¹⁰ Whatever happens was planned long ago.
    Everyone knows what people are like.
No one can argue with God,
    who is stronger than anyone.
¹¹ The more you say,
    the more useless it is.
    What good does it do?
