Ecclesiastes 5:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³I have observed a painful tragedy on earth:

Wealth hoarded by its owner harms him,
¹⁴and that wealth is lost in troubled circumstances.
Then a son is born,
    but there is nothing left for him.^[a]
¹⁵Just as he came naked from his mother’s womb,
    he will leave^[b] as naked as he came;
he will receive no profit from his efforts—
    he cannot carry away even a handful.
