Ecclesiastes 6:5

New American Bible - revised edition

though it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet the dead child has more peace.

See the chapter Copy

Man born of woman is short-lived and full of trouble,

Make them vanish like water flowing away; trodden down, let them wither like grass.

Light is sweet! and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.

And better off than both is the yet unborn, who has not seen the wicked work that is done under the sun.

Though it came in vain and goes into darkness and its name is enveloped in darkness,

Should such a one live twice a thousand years and not enjoy those goods, do not both go to the same place?
