Ecclesiastes 5:11-15

11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners of them, except the beholding of them with their eyes? 12The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eateth little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep. 13There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners of them to their hurt. 14But those riches perish by evil labour: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
