English Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Better (A)is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is (B)vanity and a striving after wind.
10 Whatever has come to be has (C)already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to (D)dispute with one stronger than he. 11 The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?

Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
New International Version
9 Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.(A)
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(B)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
