1 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is great upon mankind: 2 A man for whom God has given to him riches and wealth and honor, and he has no lack for his soul from all that; he desires and God does not give him power to eat from it; instead a foreign man eats it. This is vapor, and it is a sickening evil. 3 If a man begets a hundred and lives many years, and many are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from this goodness, and also not is unto him a grave, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For in vapor he comes, and in darkness he goes, and in darkness his name is covered. 5 Even he has not seen the sun and has not known it, more rest is unto this one than this one.
