There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy upon men: |
2
|
a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them; this is vanity; it is a sore affliction. |
3
|
If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he. |
4
|
For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered; |
5
|
moreover it has not seen the sun or known anything; yet it finds rest rather than he. |
6
|
Even though he should live a thousand years twice told, yet enjoy no good -- do not all go to the one place? |
7
|
All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. |
8
|
For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? |
9
|
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind. |
10
|
Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he. |
11
|
The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better? |
12
|
For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun? |
