Ecclesiastes 6:5
“Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.”
Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 6
3
If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:
4
for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
5
Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
6
Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don't all go to one place?
7
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
