The Vanity of Unenjoyed Wealth
Ecclesiastes 6:1-6
1
There is an euill, which I sawe vnder the sunne, and it is much among men:
2
A man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that it desireth: but God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a strange man shall eate it vp: this is vanitie, and this is an euill sicknesse.
3
If a man beget an hundreth children and liue many yeeres, and the dayes of his yeeres be multiplied, and his soule be not satisfied with good things, and he be not buried, I say that an vntimely fruite is better then he.
4
For he commeth into vanitie and goeth into darkenesse: and his name shall be couered with darkenesse.
5
Also he hath not seene ye sunne, nor knowen it: therefore this hath more rest then the other.
6
And if he had liued a thousand yeeres twise tolde, and had seene no good, shall not all goe to one place?
