Ecclesiastes 6:5

God's Word

Though it has never seen the sun or known anything, the baby finds more rest than the rich person.

See the chapter Copy

“A person who is born of a woman is short-lived and is full of trouble.

Let them become like a snail that leaves behind a slimy trail or like a stillborn child who never sees the sun.

Light is sweet, and it is good for one’s eyes to see the sun.

But the person who hasn’t been born yet is better off than both of them. He hasn’t seen the evil that is done under the sun.

A stillborn baby arrives in a pointless birth and goes out into the darkness. The darkness then hides its name.

Even if the rich person lives two thousand years without experiencing anything good—don’t we all go to the same place?
