# What the eye sees

"What a person has"

# what the soul wanders after

"what a person wants but does not have"

# meaningless ... chasing the wind

Both phrases emphasize the idea of things being useless and futile.

# chasing the wind

"as useless as trying to control the wind". The author speaks as if they were trying to control the wind. See how you translated this in Ecclesiastes 1:14.
