Ecclesiastes 6:5

6:5 though it never saw the light of day ¹  nor knew anything, ² 

yet it has more rest ³  than that man –

[6:5]  ¹ tn Heb “it never saw the sun.”

[6:5]  ² tn The word “anything” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:5]  ³ sn The Hebrew term translated rest here refers to freedom from toil, anxiety, and misery – part of the miserable misfortune that the miserly man of wealth must endure.
