Ecclesiastes 6:1-7

¹There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is great on man:

²A man to whom God giveth wealth, and riches, and honour, and there is no lack to his soul of all that he desireth, and God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

³If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, 'Better than he is the untimely birth.'

⁴For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in darkness his name is covered,

⁵Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.

⁶And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?

⁷All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.
