Ecclesiastes 5:11-15

11When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes?

12The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.

13There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

14But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.

15As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand.
