Ecclesiastes 6:9-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. “What the eyes see is better than what the desires wander after.” This also is vanity and a chase after wind.

10. Whatever is, was long ago given its name, and human nature is known; mortals cannot contend in judgment with One who is stronger.

11. For the more words, the more vanity; what profit is there for anyone?

12. For who knows what is good for mortals in life, the limited days of their vain life, spent like a shadow? Because who can tell them what will come afterward under the sun?
