Ecclesiastes 6:1 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6
1 Il est un mal que j’ai vu sous le soleil, et qui est fréquent parmi les hommes.
2 Il y a tel homme à qui Dieu a donné des richesses, des biens, et de la gloire, et qui ne manque pour son âme de rien de ce qu’il désire, mais que Dieu ne laisse pas maître d’en jouir, car c’est un étranger qui en jouira. C’est là une vanité et un mal grave.
3 Quand un homme aurait cent fils, vivrait un grand nombre d’années, et que les jours de ses années se multiplieraient, si son âme ne s’est point rassasiée de bonheur, et si de plus il n’a point de sépulture, je dis qu’un avorton est plus heureux que lui.
