Ecclesiastes 6:1-6 - Those Who Have Wealth But Do Not Enjoy It Are Pitiful

1 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men. 2 God has given man riches, wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires. Yet God has not empowered him to partake of them for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction. 3 A man can have a hundred children and live many years. If he does not enjoy prosperity and have a decent burial, a stillborn child is better off then he. 4 For he comes in with vanity and departs in darkness, and his name will be covered with darkness. 5 Moreover he has not seen the sun nor known anything. The stillborn child has more rest than the other. 6 Even though he lives a thousand years twice over, yet he has seen no good. Do not all go to one place?
