Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ So it is better to be happy with what you have
    than always to be wanting more.
Always wanting more is useless—
    like chasing the wind.

¹⁰ Everything that happens was planned long ago.
    A man is only what he was created to be.
It is useless to argue with God about it.
    This is because God is more powerful than man is.
¹¹ The more you argue,
    the more useless it is.
    You gain nothing at all by arguing.
