Ecclesiastes 6:8-11

⁸For what advantage hath the wise man over the fool? What advantage hath the poor, who knoweth how to walk before the living?

⁹Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity, and striving after wind.

¹⁰That which is was long ago called by name; and it was known that he is a man, and that he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

¹¹Seeing there are many things which increase vanity, what advantage hath man from them?
