Ecclesiastes 6:5 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6

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.

4 Car il est venu en vain, il s’en va dans les ténèbres, et son nom reste couvert de ténèbres;

5 il n’a point vu, il n’a point connu le soleil; il a plus de repos que cet homme.

6 Et quand celui-ci vivrait deux fois mille ans, sans jouir du bonheur, tout ne va-t-il pas dans un même lieu?

7 Tout le travail de l’homme est pour sa bouche, et cependant ses désirs ne sont jamais satisfaits.
