Ecclesiastes 6:2-4

Good News Translation

² God will give us wealth, honor, and property, yes, everything we want, but then will not let us enjoy it. Some stranger will enjoy it instead. It is useless, and it just isn't right. ³ We may have a hundred children and live a long time, but no matter how long we live, if we do not get our share of happiness and do not receive a decent burial, then I say that a baby born dead is better off. ⁴ It does that baby no good to be born; it disappears into darkness, where it is forgotten.
