Ecclesiastes / Question
Question source
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes contrasts having and enjoying what is present with chasing cravings that keep moving beyond reach (Ecclesiastes 6:9). The verse ends by calling this restless pursuit “vanity and vexation of spirit,” tying desire to frustration rather than lasting gain (Ecclesiastes 6:9).
9Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
