Ecclesiastes 6:6

if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die! ¹ 

even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

"Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things—do not all go to one place?"

He might live a thousand years twice over but not find contentment. And since he must die like everyone else––well, what’s the use?

Even if someone lived a thousand years--make it two thousand!--but didn't enjoy anything, what's the point? Doesn't everyone end up in the same place?

And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?

Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy no good—do not all go to one place?

even if he lives a thousand years twice––but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?

if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die! ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “Do not all go to the same place?” The rhetorical question is an example of erotesis of positive affirmation, expecting a positive answer, e.g., Ps 56:13 [14] (see E. W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech, 947). It affirms the fact that both the miserly rich man who lives two thousand years, as well as the stillborn who never lived one day, both go to the same place – the grave. And if the miserly rich man never enjoyed the fruit of his labor during his life, his fate was no better than that of the stillborn who never had opportunity to enjoy any of the blessings of life. In a sense, it would have been better for the miserly rich man to have never lived than to have experienced the toil, anxiety, and misery of accumulating his wealth, but never enjoying any of the fruits of his labor.
