NASB
"There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men--"
— Ecclesiastes 6:1, NASB
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:”
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men: ”
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:”
“Not Everyone Enjoys Life Here is another misfortune that I have seen on earth, and it weighs heavily on people:”
“There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men:”
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;”
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:”
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men--
a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.
If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, "Better the miscarriage than he,
for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.
