Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ The reason people work so hard is to get food.
    But they never have enough to eat.
⁸ Does a wise person have a better life than a foolish person?
    No, he does not!
Does it help a poor person if he knows how to live well?
    No!
⁹ It is good to enjoy the things that we have.
    That is better than to want more things all the time.
If you always try to get more things, that has no purpose.
    It is like somebody who tries to catch the wind.
