There
is
an
evil
which
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
and
it
[is]
common
among
men:
2
A
man
to
whom
God
hath
given
riches,
wealth,
and
honour,
so
that
he
wanteth
nothing
for
his
soul
of
all
that
he
desireth,
yet
God
giveth
him
not
power
to
eat
thereof,
but
a
stranger
eateth
it:
this
[is]
vanity,
and
it
[is]
an
evil
disease.
3
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
4
For
he
cometh
in
with
vanity,
and
departeth
in
darkness,
and
his
name
shall
be
covered
with
darkness.
5
Moreover
he
hath
not
seen
the
sun,
nor
known
[any
thing]:
this
hath
more
rest
than
the
other.
6
Yea,
though
he
live
a
thousand
years
twice
[told],
yet
hath
he
seen
no
good:
do
not
all
go
to
one
place?
7
All
the
labour
of
man
[is]
for
his
mouth,
and
yet
the
appetite
is
not
filled.
8
For
what
hath
the
wise
more
than
the
fool?
what
hath
the
poor,
that
knoweth
to
walk
before
the
living?
9
Better
[is]
the
sight
of
the
eyes
than
the
wandering
of
the
desire:
this
[is]
also
vanity
and
vexation
of
spirit.
10
That
which
hath
been
is
named
already,
and
it
is
known
that
it
[is]
man:
neither
may
he
contend
with
him
that
is
mightier
than
11
Seeing
there
be
many
things
that
increase
vanity,
what
[is]
man
the
better?
12
For
who
knoweth
what
[is]
good
for
man
in
[this]
life,
all
the
days
of
his
vain
life
which
he
spendeth
as
a
shadow?
for
who
can
tell
a
man
what
shall
be
after
him
under
the
sun?
