Ecclesiastes 6

The Preacher observes a common evil: a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, but God does not allow him to enjoy it; instead, a stranger consumes it. This is a severe vanity. The Preacher argues that a stillborn child is better off than a man who lives a long life without joy, because the stillborn at least finds rest. He asks what advantage a wise man has over a fool, concluding that all human labor is for the mouth, yet the appetite is never filled, emphasizing the futility of unsatisfied desire.
