Ecclesiastes 6:8 in the King James Version
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
Context
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
