Ecclesiastes 6:3

Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible

6:3
אִם־ יוֹלִ֣יד אִ֣ישׁ מֵאָ֡ה וְשָׁנִים֩ רַבּ֨וֹת יִֽחְיֶ֜ה וְרַ֣ב׀ שֶׁיִּהְי֣וּ יְמֵֽי־ שָׁנָ֗יו וְנַפְשׁוֹ֙ לֹא־ תִשְׂבַּ֣ע מִן־ הַטּוֹבָ֔ה וְגַם־ קְבוּרָ֖ה לֹא־ הָ֣יְתָה לּ֑וֹ אָמַ֕רְתִּי ט֥וֹב מִמֶּ֖נּוּ הַנָּֽפֶל׃
A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
