Ecclesiastes 6:1-3

Expanded Bible

6 I have ·seen [observed] something else ·wrong [evil] ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; 1:3] that ·causes serious problems for [is frequent among] people. ² God gives great wealth, ·riches [possessions], and honor to some people; they ·have everything [^Llack nothing] they want. But God does not let them ·enjoy such things [^Leat of it]; a stranger ·enjoys them instead [^Leats of it]. This is useless [1:2] and ·very wrong [a sickening evil]. ³ A man might have a hundred children and live ·a long time [^Lmany years], but what good is it if he ·can’t enjoy the good God gives him [^Lis not satisfied with the good things he has] or have a proper burial? I say a ·baby born dead [stillborn] is better off than he is.
