Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

71All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the 2appetite is not 3satisfied. 8For 4what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living? 9What the eyes 5see is better than what the soul 6desires. This too is 7futility and a striving after wind.
