A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

Young's Literal Translation
If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great{.htm" title="{">, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, ‘Better than he [is] the untimely birth.’

Holman Christian Standard Bible
A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives , if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

If a man fathers a hundred [children] and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a [proper] burial, [then] I say, "Better the miscarriage than he,
