Ecclesiastes 6:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² God gives somebody wealth, riches, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of everything that he craves, but God does not give him the opportunity to eat it. Instead, a stranger eats it. This is vapor, and a sickening evil.

³ A man may father a hundred children and live many years, but if his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, no matter how many days he lives, I say, “A stillborn baby is better off than he is.” ⁴ Why? Because that baby comes like a vapor and leaves in darkness, and its name gets covered in darkness.
