Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 If a man beget an hundred children and live many years, and the days of his years be multiplied: and his soul be not [a]satisfied with good things, and he be not [b]buried, I say that an untimely fruit is better than he.
4 For [c]he cometh into vanity, and goeth into darkness: and his name shall be covered with darkness.
5 Also he hath not seen the sun, nor known it: therefore this hath more rest than the other.
