Ecclesiastes 6:8-10
Jubilee Bible 2000
8 For what has the wise more than the fool? what more has the poor that knows how to walk among the living?
9 It is better to enjoy the good that is present than the wandering of desire; this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10 He that is has been named already; and it is known that he is man and that he shall not be able to contend with him that is mightier than he.

New International Version
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.
