Yet better than both is one who has not yet been, who has never seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
For indeed, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are barren, and the wombs that never gave birth, and the breasts that did not feed.’
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
And so I hated life, because the work done under the sun was grievous to me. All is but vapor and chasing after the wind.
who are filled with gladness and rejoice when finding the grave?
I have seen all the deeds done under the sun; and behold, all is meaningless and chasing after the wind.
