In context
5Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known rest: There is no more rest to this one than another.
6Though he has lived to the return of a thousand years, Yet he has seen no good: Do not all go to one place?
— Ecclesiastes 6:7 —
8For what advantage has the wise man over the fool, Since even the poor knows how to walk in the direction of life?
9The sight of the eyes is better than that which wanders in soul: This is also vanity, and waywardness of spirit.
