Ecclesiastes 6:8-10
English Standard Version Anglicised
8 For what advantage has the wise man (A)over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? 9 Better (B)is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is (C)vanity and a striving after wind.
10 Whatever has come to be has (D)already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to (E)dispute with one stronger than he.

Ecclesiastes 6:8-10
New International Version
8 What advantage have the wise over fools?(A)
What do the poor gain
by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9 Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.(B)
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(C)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
