Ecclesiastes 6:4 in context
- 2a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
- 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?
