Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
21st Century King James Version
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known what man is; neither may he contend with Him that is mightier than he.
11 Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, how is man the better?

Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
New International Version
9 Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.(A)
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(B)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
