Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
International Standard Version
9 It is better to focus on what you can see
than to meander after your self-interest;
this also is pointless and a chasing after wind.
10 Whatever exists has been named already;[a]
people know what it means[b] to be human—
and a person cannot defeat one who is more powerful than he.
11 Because many words lead to pointlessness,
how do people benefit from this?
