Ecclesiastes 6:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The child, though neither seeing the sun nor knowing anything, has more rest than that man,
In context
3 A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
4 For a stillborn child enters in futility and departs in darkness, and his name is shrouded in obscurity.
5 The child, though neither seeing the sun nor knowing anything, has more rest than that man,
6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
7 All a man’s labor is for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.
