Ecclesiastes 5:11-15
11When goods increaseH7235, they are increasedH7235 that eatH398 them: and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?
12The sleep of a labouring manH1167 is sweet, whetherH7200 he eat little or much: but the fulness of the richH6239 will not suffer him to sleep.
13There is a grievous evilH7451, whichH1931 I have seen underH3027 the sun, namely, richesH6239 kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:
14and thoseH834 riches perish by evil adventure; and ifH834 he hath begotten a son, there is nothingH3808 in his handH3027.
15As he cameH935 forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he goH935 again as he cameH935, and shall takeH935 nothingH3605 for his labour, whichH7307 he may carryH935 awayH3605 in his hand.
