Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible
Better what the eye can see than the wandering of desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Young's Literal Translation
Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

New American Standard Bible
What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and a striving after wind.

King James Bible
Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
