King James Version
"Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?"
— Ecclesiastes 6:6, King James Version
“yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place? ”
“Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don't all go to one place?”
“if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die!”
“Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place?”
“And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?”
“Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?”
If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
