Ecclesiastes 6:3-8

³Though a man have a hundred children, and live many years, and though the days of his years be many, if his soul be not satisfied with good, and he have no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better than he.

⁴This, indeed, cometh in nothingness, and goeth down into darkness, and its name is covered with darkness;

⁵it hath not seen the sun, nor known it; yet hath it rest rather than the other.

⁶Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and see no good, — do not all go to one place?

⁷All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet his desires are not satisfied.

⁸For what advantage hath the wise man over the fool? What advantage hath the poor, who knoweth how to walk before the living?
