Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

The Voice

⁹ It is better to enjoy what our eyes see than to long for what our roving appetites desire. This, too, is fleeting, like trying to embrace the wind.

¹⁰ Whatever exists has already been named. Human nature, as it is with its strengths and limitations, is already known. So no one dares to dispute with One so much stronger than he. ¹¹ The more a person speaks, the more breath is fleeting; and what advantage do a lot of words bring us?
