Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.

⁸ What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life?

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.
