3 If a man begetteth a hundred [children], and liveth many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also [that] he hath no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he.
4 For he cometh with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known [any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.
6 Yes, though he liveth a thousand years twice [told], yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
7 All the labor of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
