Ecclesiastes 6:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 a person to whom God has (A)given riches, wealth, and honor, so that his soul (B)lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God has not given him the opportunity to [a]enjoy these things, but a foreigner [b]enjoys them. This is futility and a severe affliction. 3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many [c]they may be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper (C)burial, then I say, “Better (D)the miscarriage than he, 4 for a miscarriage comes in futility and goes into darkness; and its name is covered in darkness.
