Yet, better than both is he who has never existed, Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad when they can find the grave?
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
