Ecclesiastes 6:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ It's better to enjoy what we have than to always want something else, because that makes no more sense than chasing the wind.^[a]

¹⁰ Everything that happens was decided long ago. We humans know what we are like, and we can't argue with God, because he is^[b] too strong for us. ¹¹ The more we talk, the less sense we make, so what good does it do to talk?
