Ecclesiastes 6:3-9

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.

⁸So it seems that RHQ wise people do not receive more lasting benefits than foolish people do. And it seems that RHQ poor people do not benefit from knowing how to conduct their lives.

⁹It is better to enjoy the things that we already have MTY than to constantly want more things; continually wanting more things is senseless, like chasing the wind.
