Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ It is useless; it is like chasing the wind. It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else.

¹⁰ Everything that happens was already determined long ago, and we all know that you^[a] cannot argue with someone who is stronger than you. ¹¹ The longer you argue, the more useless it is, and you are no better off.
