6:1 The miserable estate of him to whom God hath given riches, and not the grace to use them. There is an evil, which I saw under the sun, and it is much among men:
6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches and treasures and honor, and he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth: but God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a strange man shall eat it up: this is vanity, and this is an evil sickness.
6:3 If a man beget an hundred children and live many years, and the days of his years be multiplied: and his soul be not satisfied with good things, and he be not buried, I say that an untimely fruit is better than he.
6:4 For he cometh into vanity, and goeth into darkness: and his name shall be covered with darkness.
6:5 Also he hath not seen the sun, nor known it: therefore this hath more rest than the other.
6:6 And if he had lived a thousand years twice told, and had seen no good, shall not all go to one place?
6:7 All the labor of man is for his mouth: yet the soul is not filled.
6:8 For what hath the wise man more than the fool? what hath the poor that knoweth how to walk before the living?
6:9 The sight of the eye is better than to walk in the lusts: this also is vanity, and vexation of spirit.
6:10 What is that that hath been? the name thereof is now named: and it is known that it is man: and he cannot strive with him that is stronger than he.
