Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

7 We do all our work just to get something to eat, but we never have enough.

7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.

8 How are the wise better off than fools? What good does it do the poor to know how to face life?

8 What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?

9 It is useless; it is like chasing the wind. It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else.

9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
