Ecclesiastes 5:13-17
13ThereH3426 is a grievousH2470 evilH7463 which I have seenH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121: 1richesH6239 being 2hoardedH8104 by their ownerH1167 to his hurtH7463. 14When thoseH1931 richesH6239 were lostH6 through 3a badH7451 investmentH6045 and he had fatheredH3205 a sonH1121, then thereH369 was nothingH369H3972 4to supportH3027 him. 155As he had comeH3318 nakedH6174 from his mother’sH517 wombH990, so will he returnH7725 as he cameH935. He will 6takeH5375 nothingH3972H3808 from the fruitH5999 of his laborH5999 that he can carryH1980 in his handH3027. 16ThisH2090 alsoH1571 is a grievousH2470 evilH7463--exactlyH5980 as a man 7is bornH935, thusH3651 will he 8dieH1980. So 9whatH4100 is the advantageH3504 to him whoH7945 10toilsH5998 for the windH7307? 17ThroughoutH3605 his lifeH3117 11he alsoH1571 eatsH398 in darknessH2822 with 12greatH7235 vexationH3707, sicknessH2483 and angerH7110.
