Ecclesiastes 6:2

Those Who Have Wealth But Do Not Enjoy It Are Pitiful

¹ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is great among men: ² a man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a stranger eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease. ³ If a man fathers a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also is for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage is better than he.

From God
