Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

^7 (A)All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the ^[a]appetite is not ^[b]satisfied. ⁸ For ^(B)what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living? ⁹ What the eyes ^(C)see is better than what the soul ^[c]desires. This too is ^(D)futility and a striving after wind.
