There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men: Ecc 5:13 a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease. Ecc 5:19Psa 17:14Psa 73:71Ki 3:13Lam 5:2Job 21:9-15Dan 5:18Luk 12:19-20
If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he; Job 3:162Ki 9:35Ecc 4:3Jer 22:19Gen 47:9Isa 14:19-201Ch 28:51Sa 2:20-21 for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness. Psa 109:13 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other. Job 14:1Job 3:10-13Psa 58:8Psa 90:7-9 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?
