Ecclesiastes 6:3

3 A man might have a hundred children and live a long time, but what good is it if he can't enjoy the good God gives him or have a proper burial? I say a baby born dead is better off than he is.

Ecclesiastes 6:3 In-Context

1 I have seen something else wrong here on earth that causes serious problems for people.
2 God gives great wealth, riches, and honor to some people; they have everything they want. But God does not let them enjoy such things; a stranger enjoys them instead. This is useless and very wrong.
3 A man might have a hundred children and live a long time, but what good is it if he can't enjoy the good God gives him or have a proper burial? I say a baby born dead is better off than he is.
4 A baby born dead is useless. It returns to darkness without even a name.
5 That baby never saw the sun and never knew anything, but it finds more rest than that man.
