Ecclesiastes 6:1-7

¹Also another evil there is, which I saw under the sun; and certainly it is oft used with men.

²A man is, to whom God gave riches, and chattel or substance, and honour; and nothing faileth to his soul of all things which he desireth; and God giveth not power to him, that he eat thereof, but a strange man shall devour it. This is vanity, and a great wretchedness.

³If a man engendereth an hundred free sons, and hath many days of age, and his soul useth not the goods of his chattel or substance, and wanteth burying; I pronounce of this man, that a dead-born child is better than he.

⁴For he cometh in vain, and goeth to darknesses; and his name shall be done away by forgetting.

⁵He saw not the sun, neither knew the diversity of good and of evil;

⁶also though he live two thousand years, and useth not the goods; whether all things hasten not to one place?

⁷All the travail of a man is in his mouth, but the soul of him shall not be ful filled with goods.
