Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 Better to be content with what your eyes see
than for your soul to constantly crave more.[a]
This also is vanity and chasing wind!
It is Futile for Humans to Complain about God’s Irresistible Will
10 Whatever is—it was already determined,
what will be—it has already been decided.[b]
As for man, he cannot argue
against what is more powerful than him.
11 Increasing words only multiplies futility,[c]
how does that profit anyone?
