Ecclesiastes 6:3-6
3Someone may have many children and he may live for a long time. But even if he lives until he is very old, he may not enjoy a good life. After he dies, people may not bury him with honour. His life would be useless. Even a child that is dead at birth is happier than that person. That is what I think.
4The child's birth has no purpose. He immediately goes to a dark place. Nobody ever speaks his name.
5He never sees the light of day. He never knows anything. But he enjoys more rest than that rich person.
6A rich person might live for 2,000 years. But if he never enjoys his riches, it would be better if he died at birth. Remember that after death, we all go into our graves.
