Ecclesiastes 5:11-15

11When goodsH2896 increaseH7235, they are increasedH7231 that eatH398 them: and what goodH3788 is there to the ownersH1167 of them, exceptH518 the beholdingH7207H7212 of them with their eyesH5869? 12The sleepH8142 of a labouring manH5647 is sweetH4966, whether he eatethH398 littleH4592 or muchH7235: but the abundanceH7647 of the richH6223 will not allowH3240 him to sleepH3462. 13There isH3426 a grievousH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 of them to their hurtH7451. 14But those richesH6239 perishH6 by evilH7451 labourH6045: 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.
