Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 What the eye sees is better
than what desire craves.
This also is vanity
and a chase after the wind.
What a Human Being Is: Conclusion to Part I
10 Whatever exists was given its name long ago,
and the nature of man is known,
as well as the fact that he cannot contend
with one who is stronger than he.[a]
11 The more words we speak,
the more our vanity increases,
so what advantage do we gain?
