Ecclesiastes 6:2-7

²God enables some people to get a lot of money and possessions and to be honored; they have everything LIT that they want. But God sometimes does not allow them to continue to enjoy those things. Someone else gets them and enjoys them. That seems senseless and unfair.

³Someone might have a hundred children and live for many years. But if he is not able to enjoy the things that he has acquired, and if he is not buried properly after he dies, I say that a child that is dead when it is born is more fortunate.

⁴That dead baby's birth is meaningless; it does not even have a name. It goes directly to the place where there is only darkness.

⁵It does not live to see the sun or know anything. But it finds more rest than rich people do who are alive.

⁶Even if people could live for two thousand years, if they do not enjoy the things that God gives to them, it would have been better for them never to have been born. All people who live a long time certainly RHQ all go to the same place— to the grave.

⁷People work hard to earn enough money to buy food to eat MTY, but often they never get enough to eat.
