¹ Here is another misfortune that I have seen under the sun, and it [is] prevalent among humankind. ² God gives a man wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; yet God does not enable him to enjoy it--instead someone else ends up enjoying it. This [is] vanity--indeed, it [is] a grievous ill! ³ Even if a man fathers a hundred [children] and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his heart is not satisfied with {his prosperity} and {he does not receive a proper burial}, I deem the stillborn better than him. ⁴ For he comes into vanity and departs into darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness. ⁵ He has neither seen nor known the sun, yet he has more rest than him. ⁶ Even if a man lives a thousand years twice, if he does not enjoy {prosperity}, {both suffer the same fate}!
