NASB
"for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity."
— Ecclesiastes 6:4, NASB
“For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.”
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.
"It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he.
"Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things--do not all go to one place?"
All a man's labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.
