Ecclesiastes 6:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 God gives a man riches, wealth, and honor(A) so that he lacks nothing of all he desires for himself,(B) but God does not allow him to enjoy them. Instead, a stranger will enjoy them. This is futile and a sickening tragedy. 3 A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives,[a] if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial,(C) I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.(D) 4 For he comes in futility and he goes in darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness.
