ECCLESIASTES
Chapter 6
Eccl | DRC | 6:1 | There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men: | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:2 | A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery. | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:3 | If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he. | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:6 | Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place? | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:8 | What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life? | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:9 | Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit. | |
Eccl | DRC | 6:10 | He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is a man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself. | |
