Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ Better to be content with what your eyes see
    than for your soul to constantly crave more.^[a]
This also is vanity and chasing wind!

¹⁰ Whatever is—it was already determined,
    what will be—it has already been decided.^[b]
As for man, he cannot argue
    against what is more powerful than him.
¹¹ Increasing words only multiplies futility,^[c]
    how does that profit anyone?
