1. I have seen something else wrong here on earth that causes serious problems for people.
2. God gives great wealth, riches, and honor to some people; they have everything they want. But God does not let them enjoy such things; a stranger enjoys them instead. This is useless and very wrong.
3. A man might have a hundred children and live a long time, but what good is it if he can’t enjoy the good God gives him or have a proper burial? I say a baby born dead is better off than he is.
4. A baby born dead is useless. It returns to darkness without even a name.
5. That baby never saw the sun and never knew anything, but it finds more rest than that man.
6. Even if he lives two thousand years, he doesn’t enjoy the good God gives him. Everyone is going to the same place.
