Ecclesiastes 5:11-15
11When goods increaseH7235, they are increasedH7235 that eatH398 them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? 12The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the richH6239 will not suffer him to sleep.
13There is a grievous evilH7451 which I have seen under the sun, namely, richesH6239 kept by the owner thereof to his hurt: 14and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his handH3027. 15As he cameH935 forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he goH935 again as he cameH935, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
