International Standard Version It is better to focus on what you can see than to meander after your self-interest; this also is pointless and a chasing after wind.
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.
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.
