Ecclesiastes 6:1-6

1Here is another misfortune that I have seen on earth, and it weighs heavily on people:

2God gives a man riches, property, and wealth so that he lacks nothing that his heart desires, yet God does not enable him to enjoy the fruit of his labor – instead, someone else enjoys it! This is fruitless and a grave misfortune.

3Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years – even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity – even if he were to live forever – I would say, “A stillborn child is better off than he is!”

4Though the stillborn child came into the world for no reason and departed into darkness, though its name is shrouded in darkness,

5though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man –

6if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die!
