Ecclesiastes 6:1-2

1There is an 1evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent 2among men--

2a man to whom God has 3given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul 4lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner 5enjoys them. This is 6vanity and a severe affliction.
