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.
