Ecclesiastes 6:9

One Must Learn To Be Content With What One Has

⁸ For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living? ⁹ Better is the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. ¹⁰ What is that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it is man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.
