"moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other: "
— Ecclesiastes 6:5, American Standard Version
“Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.”
“Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.”
“though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man–”
“He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil:”
“Yes, it saw not the sun, and it had no knowledge; it is better with this than with the other.”
“Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.”
a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:
for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;
moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:
yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?
