Ecclesiastes 5:11-15
111When goodH2899 thingsH2899 increaseH7235, those who consumeH398 them increaseH7231. So whatH4100 is the advantageH3788 to their ownersH1167 exceptH3588H518 to 2lookH7212H5869 at them? 12The sleepH8142 of the laborerH5647 is 3sweetH4966, whetherH518 he eatsH398 littleH4592 or muchH7235; but the 4fullH7647 stomachH7647 of the richH6223 personH6223 does not allowH5117 him to sleepH3462.
13ThereH3426 isH3426 a sickeningH2470 evilH7463 which I have seenH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121: 5wealthH6239 being 6hoardedH8104 by its ownerH1167 to his detrimentH7463. 14When that wealthH6239 was lostH6 through badH7451 businessH6045 and he had fatheredH3205 a sonH1121, then thereH369 wasH369 nothingH369H3972 7to supportH3027 him. 158As he cameH3318 nakedH6174 from his mother’sH517 wombH990, so he will returnH7725H1980 as he cameH935. He will 9takeH5375 nothingH3972H3808 from the fruitH5999 ofH5999 his laborH5999 that he can carryH1980 in his handH3027.
