Midrash su Ecclesiaste 6:3

Another matter, “a time to be born [and a time to die]” – even the angel of death becomes her prosecutor.³The reference is to a woman in childbirth. Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥman said: For three transgressions women die during childbirth…⁴These are: Failure to observe the laws of menstruation, failure to separate ĥalla from dough, and failure to kindle the Shabbat lamp (Mishna Shabbat 2:6). During a time of danger, such as childbirth, one is more vulnerable to being punished for one’s sins. The same is true of the dangerous circumstances the midrash mentions in the next sentence. and in three circumstances men die: One who is located in a rickety house, one who sets out on the road alone, and one who sets sail in the Mediterranean Sea; the accuser becomes his prosecutor, as Rabbi Levi said: The accuser commonly prosecutes [people found] in three places: One who is located in a rickety house, one who sets out on the road alone, and one who sets sail in the Mediterranean Sea. Rabbi Shimon bar Abba, in the name of Rabbi Ḥanina: All roads are in a presumptive state of danger. When Rabbi Yannai would depart on a highway he would leave instructions for his household.⁵Instructions on what to do in case he died while on his journey. Rabbi Ḥelbo and Rabbi Shimon bar Abba said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: All who are ill are in a presumptive state of danger. Rabbi Natan Kohen, brother of Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, was setting out to sea. He said to his brother: ‘Pray for me.’ [His brother] said to him: ‘How can I pray for you? From when you bind your lulav, moor your ship.⁶From Sukkot until the summer, do not set sail. If you entered the synagogue and heard the voice of the congregation praying for rain, do not rely on my prayer.’⁷The prayer for rain is recited between Sukkot and Passover. Rainy weather brings with it dangerous sailing conditions.
Rabbi Yehoshua son of Rabbi Tanḥum ben Rabbi Ḥiyya, of the Agon village, was in Asia Minor. He sought to set sail between Sukkot and Hanukkah. A certain noblewoman said to him: ‘Is this the period to set sail?’ But he did not heed her words. He saw his father in a dream saying: ‘My son will be without a grave, “neither did he have a burial”’ (Ecclesiastes 6:3). He did not heed the words of this one or to the words of that one, and so it befell him.

And he knoweth not that want shall come upon him (Prov. 28:22). What came upon him? A fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth (Gen. 4:12). Wherever he went, the Holy One, blessed be He, brought evil spirits upon him. They beat him and pursued him until they drove him from the world. Thus Solomon proclaimed: If a man beget a hundred children and live many years … but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial (Eccles. 6:3). Similarly, whoever lends money to his friend on interest will ultimately require help from mankind, as it is said: And he knoweth not that want shall come upon him (Prov. 28:22).
