Ecclesiastes 6:8-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
8
For what advantage does the wise person have over the fool? What does the poor person have, knowing
how
to walk before the living?
9
What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and striving after wind.
King James Version
Chapter 6
8
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
9
Better
is
the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this
is
also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
8
What advantage then does the wise person have over the fool? What advantage is there for the poor person who knows how to conduct himself before others?
9
Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
8
So are wise people really better off than fools? Do poor people gain anything by being wise and knowing how to act in front of others?
9
Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless — like chasing the wind.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
8
For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?
9
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
New International Version
Chapter 6
8
What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9
Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
