Ecclesiastes Chapter 6 Verse 3If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he.

There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?

All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it [is] common among men:

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.

For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known [any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.

Yea, though he live a thousand years twice [told], yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?

For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
