Ecclesiastes 6:10
| ← Ecclesiastes 6:9 | Ecclesiastes 6:10 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 6:11 → |
|---|---|---|
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
|
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.
|
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
