Ecclesiastes 6

Gen Z: Ecclesiastes 6

1I peeped some sus evil vibes under the sun, and it's just a common thing for people.

2There's this dude who got all the riches, wealth, and clout, but can't even enjoy it; a random stranger's munchin' on his gains: that's just straight-up vanity, no cap.

3If a guy pops out a hundred kids and lives a long life, but never feels fulfilled and can't even get a proper send-off; honestly, being born too soon is better than that.

4He rolls in with all this emptiness and bounces out in darkness, like, his name is just a shadow now.

5Plus, he hasn’t even seen the sun or known anything: that dude's got more chill than the rest of us.

6Even if he vibes for a thousand years, he hasn’t seen any good: don’t we all end up in the same spot?

7All the grind is just to fill his mouth, but he’s still hungry, fr.

8What’s the wise guy got over the fool? What’s the broke dude got if he knows how to walk in front of the living?

9Better to see with your eyes than to chase after wild desires: that’s just more vanity and stress.

10What’s already been is already named, and we know it’s man: he can't even argue with someone stronger than him.

11Since there’s so much that just boosts vanity, what’s the point for man?

12Who even knows what’s good for man in this life, with all his empty days that just pass like a shadow? Who can tell him what’s next under the sun?

KJV: Ecclesiastes 6

1There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

3If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

4For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

5Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

6Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

7All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

8For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

9Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

10That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

11Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

12For who knoweth what is good for man in this 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?
