Ecclesiastes 6:9-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
9
What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and striving after wind.
10
Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with the one who is mightier than he is.
11
For there are many words which increase futility. What
then
is the advantage to a person?
King James Version
Chapter 6
9
Better
is
the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this
is
also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it
is
man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
11
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what
is
man the better?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
9
Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
10
Whatever exists was given its name long ago, and it is known what mankind is. But he is not able to contend with the one stronger than he.
11
For when there are many words, they increase futility. What is the advantage for mankind?
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
9
Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless — like chasing the wind.
10
Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.
11
The more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they?
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
9
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
10
Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.
11
The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?
New International Version
Chapter 6
9
Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
10
Whatever exists has already been named, 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?
