2There is many a man to whom God hath given riches, property, and honor, and nothing is wanting for his soul of all that he longeth for: yet God empowereth him not to eat thereof, but a stranger will consume it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3If a man were to beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years were many, and his soul were not satisfied with what is good, and he have not had even a burial: then do I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
4For in vanity it came, and in darkness it departeth, and with darkness will its name be covered.
5Moreover it never saw the sun, and knew nothing: this hath more rest than the other.
6Yea, though he were to live a thousand years twice told, and had not seen any good— doth not every one go to one place?
7All the toil of a man is for his mouth; and yet is his desire never filled.
