ULT ECC Chapter 6

ECC 6 ©

6There is a misfortune that I have seen under the sun and it is great on humanity: 2a person who God gives to him wealth and possessions and honor, and he has no lack for his soul from all that he desires, but God does not enable him to eat from it; instead, a foreign person will eat it—this is vapor and it is a sickening misfortune. 3If a person should father a hundred children and he should live many years and however many that the days of his years may be, but his soul is not satisfied from the good thing (and also a burial place is not for him), I said, “Better than him is the stillborn child.” 4For in vapor it came and in the darkness it will go and in the darkness its name will be covered. 5Even the sun it did not see, nor did it know. More rest belongs to this one than this one. 6And if he lived a thousand years twice over, but a good thing he did not see—are not both going to one place?

7All the toil of humanity is for his mouth,

and yet the soul is not filled.

8For what advantage exists for the wise over the fool? What advantage exists for the poor person that knows how to walk before the living? 9Better is a sight of the eyes than the walking of the soul. Also this is vapor and striving after wind.

10Whoever that was, already his name has been called, and it is known that he is a human being. But he is not able to strive with who is more powerful than he. 11For there are many words that are increasingly vaporous—what is the advantage for humanity? 12For who is knowing what is good for humanity in life during the number of the days of his vaporous life? And he makes them like the shadow. For who will declare to humanity what will be after him under the sun?
