Ecclesiastes 6:4


Ecclesiastes 6:3 Ecclesiastes 6:4 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 6:5
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.
Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known [any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.
