6:5though it never saw the light of day23 nor knew anything,24
yet it has more rest25 than that man—
Footnotes
- 23 Heb “it never saw the sun.”
- 24 The word “anything” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.
- 25 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.
