New American Standard Bible 1995

³ If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many ^[a]they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper ^(A)burial, then I say, “Better ^(B)the miscarriage than he, ⁴ for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. ⁵ It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; ^[b]it is better off than he.
