Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ People eat up everything they work to get.
    But they are never satisfied.
⁸ What advantage do wise people have
    over those who are foolish?
What do poor people gain
    by knowing how to act toward others?
⁹ Being satisfied with what you have
    is better than always wanting more.
That doesn’t have any meaning either.
    It’s like chasing the wind.
