Ecclesiastes 6:1

1 I've seen another evil thing on this earth. And it's a heavy load on men.

Ecclesiastes 6:1 In-Context

1 I've seen another evil thing on this earth. And it's a heavy load on men.
2 God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor. He has everything his heart longs for. But God doesn't let him enjoy those things. Instead, strangers enjoy them. That doesn't have any meaning. It's a very evil thing.
3 A man might have a hundred children. He might live a long time. But suppose he can't enjoy his wealth. And suppose he isn't buried in the proper way. Then it doesn't matter how long he lives. I'm telling you that a baby that is born dead is better off than he is.
4 That kind of birth doesn't have any meaning. The baby dies in darkness and leaves this world. And in darkness it is forgotten.
5 It didn't even see the sun. It didn't know anything at all. But it has more rest than that man does.
