Ecclesiastes 6:3-6

3If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many 1they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper 2burial, then I say, “Better 3the miscarriage than he, 4for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. 5It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; 4it is better off than he. 6Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not 5enjoy good things--6do not all go to one place?”
