Ecclesiastes 6:5 in context

  1. 3If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:
  2. 4for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
  3. 5Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
  4. 6Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?
  5. 7All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
