Ecclesiastes 5:13-17

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. 16And this alsoH1571 is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboreth for the wind? 17All his daysH3117 also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed, and hath sickness and wrath.
