Ecclesiastes 6 - Prayer Tents

6I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on the human race:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7227H120 2God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.H376H430H5414H6239H5233H3519H2638H5315H183H430H7980H398H376H5237H398H1892H7451H2483 3A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.H376H3205H3967H2421H7227H8141H3117H8141H7227H5315H7646H2896H6900H559H5309H2896 4It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.H935H1892H3212H2822H8034H3680H2822 5Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man—H7200H8121H3045H2088H5183H2088 6even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?H432H2421H505H8141H6471H7200H2896H1980H259H4725 7Everyone's toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is never satisfied.H5999H120H6310H5315H4390 8What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?H2450H3148H3684H6041H3045H1980H2416 9Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.H2896H4758H5869H1980H5315H1892H7469H7307 10Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.H7121H8034H3528H3045H120H3201H1777H8623 11The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?H3426H7235H1697H7235H1892H120H3148 12For who knows what is good for people in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?H3045H2896H120H2416H4557H3117H1892H2416H6213H6738H5046H120H310H8121
