Ecclesiastes 6:5

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

The baby never saw the sun and never knew anything. But the baby finds more rest than the man who never enjoyed what God gave him.

See the chapter Copy

May they be like snails melting away as they move. May they be like a baby born dead, who never saw the light of day.

“We are all human beings. Our life is short and full of trouble.

It is senseless when a baby is born dead. The baby is quickly buried in a dark grave, without even a name.

He might live 2000 years. But if he does not enjoy life, then the baby who was born dead has found the easiest way to the same end.

It is good to be alive. It is nice to see the light from the sun.

And it is even better for those who die at birth, because they never saw the evil that is done in this world.
