Ecclesiastes 6:9

Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka ike maka ana mamua o ka hele ana'ku o ka manao. He mea lapuwale keia, a me ka luhi hewa.

Baibala Hemolele

In The King James Version

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

In Context

8Ma na mea hea i oi aku ai ka mea naauao mamua o ka mea naaupo? Heaha ka mea i loaa i ka ilihune, ka mea i ike i ka hele ana imua o ka poe ola?

10O ka mea i hala aku nei, ua kapaia kona inoa, a o ke kanaka hoi ua ikeia oia, aole hiki ia ia ke ku e i ka mea mana mamua ona.
