Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
The one who has not seen the sun nor known anything is a child born dead. That infant never beholds the light of day and never comes to know anything of life. Such a stillborn child is granted more rest than the other person described alongside him. That other is one who lives on amid earthly pursuits without hope in God. Compared with a life so occupied and hopeless, the dead-born child who never enters into life has the greater rest.
