Kaz 6, 1-11

1 There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and, indeed, it is frequent among men. 2 It is a man to whom God has given wealth, and resources, and honor; and out of all that he desires, nothing is lacking to his life; yet God does not grant him the ability to consume these things, but instead a man who is a stranger will devour them. This is emptiness and a great misfortune. 3 If a man were to produce one hundred children, and to live for many years, and to attain to an age of many days, and if his soul were to make no use of the goods of his resources, and if he were lacking even a burial: concerning such a man, I declare that a miscarried child is better than he. 4 For he arrives without a purpose and he continues on into darkness, and his name shall be wiped away, into oblivion. 5 He has not seen the sun, nor recognized the difference between good and evil. 6 Even if he were to live for two thousand years, and yet not thoroughly enjoy what is good, does not each one hurry on to the same place? 7 Every labor of man is for his mouth, but his soul will not be filled. 8 What do the wise have which is more than the foolish? And what does the pauper have, except to continue on to that place, where there is life? 9 It is better to see what you desire, than to desire what you cannot know. But this, too, is emptiness and a presumption of spirit. 10 Whoever shall be in the future, his name has already been called. And it is known that he is a man and that he is not able to contend in judgment against one who is stronger than himself. 11 There are many words, and many of these, in disputes, hold much emptiness.

Verš 12

Ž 144:4 - Generation after generation will praise your works, and they will declare your power.

Jak 4:13 - But who are you to judge your neighbor? Consider this, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into that city, and certainly we will spend a year there, and we will do business, and we will make our profit,”

Kaz 8:7 - For he is ignorant of the past, and he is able to know nothing of the future by means of a messenger.

Verš 5

He has not seen the sun, nor recognized the difference between good and evil.

Jób 3:16 - or, like a hidden miscarriage, I should not have continued, just like those who, being conceived, have not seen the light.

Ž 58:8 - Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”

Kaz 6,8 - Zmysel je dosť nejasný, preto prekladajú tento verš rozlične. "Vie kráčať pred živými": je dosť rozumný, a preto vie, ako treba žiť. Vulg: Ide tam, kde je život. Grécky: lebo chudobný vie chodiť pred životom. Niektorí tu vidia súbežnosť myšlienky a zmysel podávajú takto: čo má múdry nad pochabého? Čo má bedár z toho, že vie…? Túžby človeka sú neukojiteľné, hodnoty sveta nevedia uspokojiť dušu, a tak aj v tomto ohľade všetci ľudia, či boháč alebo chudobný, či múdry alebo pochabý, sú si rovnakí.

Kaz 6,9 - "Hľadieť" vo význame: požívať, mať, dosiahnuť niečo, čo aj v skromnej miere.

Kaz 6,10 - Meno dať veci: "Menom nazvať" znamená: do života uviesť, uskutočniť, vytvoriť."Silnejší od seba" môže byť aj vyššie postavený človek, ale tu najskôr treba myslieť na Boha: s Bohom sa chce aj Jób pustiť do súdu, keď si nevie rozlúštiť záhadu svojho utrpenia. Nikto z ľudí nemôže brať Boha a jeho ustanovenia na zodpovednosť, keď jeho riadenie nechápe.
