Ecclesiastes6:5
5 Moreover, he hath not seen the sun , nor known any thing : this hath more rest than the other.
He never beheld the light, and therefore it is not grievous to him to want it, whereas the covetous Man saw that light was very pleasant, and therefore the loss of it was irksom to him.
Hath had no knowledge, sense or experience of any thing whether good or evil.
Because he is perfectly free from all those incumbrances and vexations to which the covetous Man is long exposed.
