The Futility of Life: Библия онлайн, New American Standard Bible == БИБЛИЯ-ЦЕНТР

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 6

¹ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent^aamong men— ² 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^benjoys them. This is^cvanity and a severe affliction. ³ If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many^dthey 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, ⁴ for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. ⁵ It never sees the sun and it never knows anything;^eit is better off than he. ⁶ Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not^fenjoy good things—do not all go to one place?”

⁷ All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the^gappetite is not^hsatisfied. ⁸ 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? ⁹ What the eyes see is better than what the soulⁱdesires. This too is futility and a striving after wind.

¹⁰ Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is. ¹¹ For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man? ¹² For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few^jyears of his futile life? He will^kspend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
