Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ ¶ All the labour of man is for his mouth, and with all this the appetite is not filled.

⁸ For what has the wise more than the fool? what more has the poor that knows how to walk among the living?

⁹ It is better to enjoy the good that is present than the wandering of desire; this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
