Ecclesiastes 6:9
Better what the eye can see than the wandering of desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Note than…: Heb. than the walking of the soul
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
