2a man to whom God shall give wealth, and substance, and honour, and he wants nothing for his soul of all things that he shall desire, yet God shall not give him power to eat of it, for a stranger shall devour it: this is vanity, and an evil infirmity.
3If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, yea, however abundant the days of his years shall be, yet if his soul shall not be satisfied with good, and also he have no burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he.
4For he came in vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered in darkness.
5Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known rest: there is no more rest to this one than another.
6Though he has lived to the return of a thousand years, yet he has seen no good: do not all go to one place?
7All the labour of a man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite shall not be satisfied.
