Ecclesiastes 6:4

"for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity".

The stillborn or miscarriage comes in futility, i.e. comes for no purpose. The miscarriage or stillborn is (still to this day) often buried without. ceremony, often the child isn't even named, or if he or she is named, the name is quickly forgotten because the child never had. chance to make. name for himself. The immediate family might remember the name, but the rest of society is completely ignorant of this child's short life. While we know the names of our neighbor's or friend's children, we are often completely ignorant concerning the fact that they may have had one or more miscarriages.
