3 A man might father a hundred children, and live for many years, so that the length of his life is long—but if his life does not overflow with goodness, and he doesn't receive a proper burial, I maintain that stillborn children are better off than he is,

4 because stillborn children arrive in pointlessness, leave in darkness, and their names are covered in darkness.

5 Furthermore, though they never saw the sun nor learned anything, they are more content than the other.
