Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that ^athe days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with life’s ^bgood things, and he also has no ^cburial, I say that ^da stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered. 5 Moreover, it has not ^eseen the sun or known anything, yet it finds ^frest rather than he.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

10 Whatever your hand finds to do, ^gdo it with your might, ^{▼▼Or finds to do with your might, do it} ⁱfor there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
