Ecclesiastes 6:9

9 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 6:9 In-Context

7 All the labor of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
9 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?
