Ecclesiastes 6:7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.[a] 8 For what advantage has the wise man (B)over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? 9 Better (C)is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is (D)vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 6:7-9
New International Version
7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth,
yet their appetite is never satisfied.(A)
8 What advantage have the wise over fools?(B)
What do the poor gain
by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9 Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.(C)
