Ecclesiastes 6:4 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6
2 Hombre á quien Dios dió riquezas, y hacienda, y honra, y nada le falta de todo lo que su alma desea; mas Dios no le dió facultad de comer de ello, sino que los extraños se lo comen. Esto vanidad es, y enfermedad trabajosa.
3 Si el hombre engendrare ciento, y viviere muchos años, y los días de su edad fueren numerosos; si su alma no se hartó del bien, y también careció de sepultura, yo digo que el abortivo es mejor que él.
4 Porque en vano vino, y á tinieblas va, y con tinieblas será cubierto su nombre.
5 Aunque no haya visto el sol, ni conocido [nada], más reposo tiene éste que aquél.
6 Porque si viviere [aquél] mil años dos veces, si no ha gozado del bien, cierto todos van á un lugar.
