Ecclesiastes 6:3-10

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.

⁸What hath a wise man more than a fool? and what hath a poor man, but that he go thither, where is life?

⁹It is better to see that, that thou covetest, than to desire that, that thou knowest not; but also this is vanity, and presumption of spirit.

¹⁰The name of him that shall come, is called now, and it is known, that he is a man, and he may not strive in doom against a stronger than himself.
