Verse 4 is found in chapter 6 of Ecclesiastes. The case of a person who possesses wealth, goods, and honor but cannot enjoy them shows that having resources and enjoying them are distinct realities. Abundance does not guarantee satisfaction. Even a long life without the ability to enjoy it is described as deeply frustrating. The passage challenges the automatic identification of outward prosperity with fullness of life.

Perciocchè quell’abortivo è venuto in vano, e se ne va nelle tenebre, e il suo nome è coperto di tenebre.
Porquanto debalde veio, e em trevas se vai, e de trevas se cobre o seu nome.
因為這胎虛虛而來,暗暗而去,名字被黑暗遮蔽,
