Ecclesiastes 6:2-4

Legacy Standard Bible

² a man to whom God ^(A)gives riches and wealth and honor so that his soul ^(B)lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God does not empower him to eat from them, for a foreigner eats from them. This is ^[a]vanity and a sickening evil. ³ If a man becomes the father of one hundred children and lives many years, however many the days of his years may be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things, and he does not even have a proper ^(C)burial, then I say, “Better ^(D)the miscarriage than he, ⁴ for that one comes in vanity and goes into darkness; and that one’s name is covered in darkness.
