Ecclesiastes 6:3-9

³If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

⁴for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;

⁵moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:

⁶yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?

⁷All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

⁸For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?

⁹Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
