Ecclesiastes 6:9
Compare all
7 aAll the labor of man is for his mouth,
And yet the soul is not satisfied. 
8 For what more has the wise man than the fool?
What does the poor man have,
Who knows how to walk before the living?
9 Better is1 the asight of the eyes than the wandering of2 desire.
This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. 
10 Whatever one is, he has been named aalready,
For it is known that he is man;
bAnd he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he. 
11 Since there are many things that increase vanity,
How is man the better?

The fight - The comfortable enjoyment of what a man hath. Than - Restless desires of what a man hath not. This - Wandering of the desire.
