Ecclesiastes 6
There
is
an
evil
which
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
and
it
is
common
among
men:
2 A
man
to
whom
God
hath
given
riches,
wealth,
and
honour,
so
that
he
wanteth
nothing
for
his
soul
of
all
that
he
desireth,
yet
God
giveth
him
not
power
to
eat
thereof,
but
a
stranger
eateth
it:
this
is
vanity,
and
it
is
an
evil
a
disease.
3 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
a
burial;
I
say,
that
an
untimely
birth
is
better
than
he.
4 For
he
cometh
in
a
with
vanity,
and
departeth
in
darkness,
and
his
name
shall
be
covered
with
darkness.
5 Moreover
he
hath
not
seen
the
sun,
nor
known
any
thing:
this
hath
more
rest
than
the
other.
6 Yea,
though
he
live
a
thousand
years
twice
told,
yet
hath
he
seen
no
good:
do
not
all
go
to
one
place?
7 All
the
labour
of
man
is
for
his
mouth,
and
yet
the
appetite
is
not
filled.
8 For
what
hath
the
wise
more
than
the
fool?
what
hath
the
poor,
that
knoweth
to
walk
before
the
living?
9 Better
is
the
a
sight
of
the
eyes
than
the
wandering
of
the
desire:
this
is
also
b
vanity
and
c
vexation
of
spirit.
10 That
which
hath
been
is
named
already,
and
it
is
known
that
it
is
man:
neither
may
he
a
contend
with
him
that
is
mightier
than
he.
11 Seeing
there
be
many
things
that
increase
a
vanity,
what
is
man
the
b
better?
12 For
who
knoweth
what
is
good
for
man
in
this
life,
all
the
days
of
his
vain
life
which
he
spendeth
as
a
shadow?
for
who
can
tell
a
man
what
shall
be
after
him
under
the
sun?
