Ecclesiastes 6:9 Targum: Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

ט֛וֹב מַרְאֵ֥ה עֵינַ֖יִם מֵֽהֲלָךְ־נָ֑פֶשׁ גַּם־זֶ֥ה הֶ֖בֶל וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃

Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

It is better for a man to rejoice about the world to come, and to do righteousness, and to see a good reward for his labours in the day of the great judgment than to go into that world with an afflicted soul; for this is vanity, and a breaking of spirit to a guilty man.
