Ecclesiastes 6:6 in context

Ecclesiastes 6:3–9

3

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;

4

for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

5

Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.

6
Selected verse

Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?

7

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

8

For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

9

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
