Ecclesiastes 6:3
| ← Ecclesiastes 6:2 | Ecclesiastes 6:3 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 6:4 → |
|---|---|---|
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.
|
If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he.
|
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
