Ecclesiastes 5:13-17

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.

16And this also is a grievous evil, that in allH3605 points as he came, soH1571 shall he go: and whatH1571 profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind?

17AllH3605 his daysH3117 also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed and hath sickness and wrath.
