Ecclesiastes 6:9

טוֹב֙ מַרְאֵ֣ה עֵינַ֔יִם מֵהֲלָ֖ךְ נָ֑פֶשׁ גַּם זֶ֥ה הֶ֛בֶל וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃
King James Version (KJV)

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Modern English

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Hebrew

טוֹב֙ מַרְאֵ֣ה עֵינַ֔יִם מֵהֲלָ֖ךְ נָ֑פֶשׁ גַּם זֶ֥ה הֶ֛בֶל וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃
