nasb Ecclesiastes:5:1-7
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men--
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, "Better the miscarriage than he,
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:5" @It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he.
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:6" @Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things-- do not all go to one place?"
nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @All a man's labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.
