Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives,^[a] if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial,^(A) I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.^{(B) 4} For he comes in futility and he goes in darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness. ⁵ Though a stillborn child does not see the sun and is not conscious, it has more rest than he.
