# Chapter 6
|
|
1. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
|
|
2. A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction.
|
|
|
|
3. If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he--
|
|
4. for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
|
|
5. Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man,
|
|
6. even if he lives a thousand years twice--but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?
|
|
|
|
7. All the labor of man is for his mouth,
|
|
And yet the soul is not satisfied.
|
|
|
|
8. For what more has the wise man than the fool?
|
|
What does the poor man have,
|
|
Who knows how to walk before the living?
|
|
|
|
9. Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire.
|
|
This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
|
|
|
|
10. Whatever one is, he has been named already,
|
|
For it is known that he is man;
|
|
And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.
|
|
|
|
11. Since there are many things that increase vanity,
|
|
How is man the better?
|
|
|
|
12. For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?
