Ecclesiastes 6:4 Context
2A man to whom God hath giuen riches, wealth and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that he desireth, yet God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a stranger eateth it: This is vanitie, and it is an euill disease. 3¶ If a man beget an hundred children, and liue many yeeres, so that the dayes of his yeeres bee many: and his soule be not filled with good, and also that he haue no buriall, I say, that an vntimely birth is better then he. 4For he commeth in with vanitie, and departeth in darkenesse, and his name shall be couered with darkenesse. 5Moreouer hee hath not seene the Sunne, nor knowen any thing: this hath more rest then the other. 6¶ Yea though he liue a thousand yeeres twice told, yet hath he seene no good: Doe not all goe to one place?
