What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and a striving after wind. (NASB ©1995)

Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 11:9 Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things. (NASB ©1995)


Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
