Ecclesiastes:6

* There is an evil that I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men . * God has given man riches , wealth and honor , so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires . Yet God has not empowered him to partake of them for a foreigner enjoys them . This is vanity and a severe affliction . * A man can have a hundred children and live many years . If he does not enjoy prosperity and have a decent burial , a stillborn child is better off then he . * For he comes in with vanity and departs in darkness , and his name will be covered with darkness . * »Moreover he has not seen the sun nor known anything . The stillborn child has more rest than the other . * »Even though he lives a thousand years twice over , yet he has seen no good . Do not all go to one place ?« * All the labor of man is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied . * What does the wise have more than the fool ? What does the poor have knowing how to walk before man ? * Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering after the desire . This is also vanity and a striving after wind . * That which exists is named already . It is known and he cannot dispute with the one that is mightier than he . * Seeing there is much that increases futility , what outcome is there for man ? * Who knows what is good for man in this life ? Are all the days of his vain life that he spends like a shadow ? Who can tell a man what will happen after his existence under the sun ?
