Kohelet 6:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ All the amal (labor) of haAdam is for his mouth, and yet the nefesh is not satisfied.

⁸ For what hath the chacham more than the kesil? What hath the poor man, who has da’as of how to conduct himself before the living?

⁹ Better what the eynayim see than the roving of the nefesh; this also is hevel and chasing after ruach.
