³ Someone may have many children and he may live for a long time. But even if he lives until he is very old, he may not enjoy a good life. After he dies, people may not bury him with honour. His life would be useless. Even a child that is dead at birth is happier than that person. That is what I think. ⁴ The child's birth has no purpose. He immediately goes to a dark place. Nobody ever speaks his name. ⁵ He never sees the light of day. He never knows anything. But he enjoys more rest than that rich person.
