Ecclesiastes 6:7-9
King James Version
KJV
New International Version
NIV
7
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
7
Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.
8
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
8
What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
9
Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
