<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Koheles (Book of Ecclesiastes), Chapter 6 ==<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men: <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;2&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; a man to whom G-d giveth riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet G-d giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;3&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he; <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;4&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness; <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;5&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath gratification rather than the other; <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;6&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and enjoy no good; do not all go to one place?<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;7&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt; All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;8&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt; For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or the poor man that hath understanding, in walking before the living? <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;9&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt; Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind. <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;10&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; Whatsoever cometh into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;11&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;11&lt;/sup&gt; Seeing there are many words that increase vanity, what is man the better? <br /> <br /> &lt;named id=&quot;12&quot;/&gt;&lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt; For who knoweth what is good for man in his 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? <br /> <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Koheles 5|Previous Chapter]]<br /> * [[Koheles 6 Commentaries]]<br /> * [[Koheles 7|Next Chapter]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Learning resources]]<br /> [[Category:Bible]]<br /> [[Category:Bible Contents]]<br /> <br /> [[he:קוהלת ו]]<br /> <br /> [[1917 JPS Copyright|Portions &amp;copy; 1997 by Benyamin Pilant.
