Ecclesiastes 5:13-17

13There isH3426 a soreH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 thereof to their hurtH7451.

14But those richesH6239 perishH6 by evilH7451 travailH6045: and he begettethH3205 a sonH1121, and there is nothingH3972 in his handH3027.

15As he came forthH3318 of his mother’sH517 wombH990, nakedH6174 shall he returnH7725 to goH3212 as he cameH935, and shall takeH5375 nothingH3972 of his labourH5999, which he may carry awayH3212 in his handH3027.

16And thisH2090 also is a soreH2470 evilH7451, that in all pointsH5980 as he cameH935, so shall he goH3212: and what profitH3504 hath he that hath labouredH5998 for the windH7307?

17All his daysH3117 also he eatethH398 in darknessH2822, and he hath muchH7235 sorrowH3707 and wrathH7110 with his sicknessH2483.
