NASB
""It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he."
— Ecclesiastes 6:5, NASB
“Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.”
“moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather 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 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.
For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living?
