American Standard Version
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Darby English Version
Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.

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

Revised Standard Version
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
