Ecclesiastes 6:7-9
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible
RHE
New International Version
NIV
7
All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.
7
Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.
8
What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life?
8
What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9
Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit.
9
Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
