Ecclesiastes 5:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ There is a grievous ill that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owners to their hurt,^{(A) 14} and those riches were lost in a bad venture; though they are parents of children, they have nothing in their hands. ¹⁵ As they came from their mother’s womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came; they shall take nothing for their toil that they may carry away with their hands.^(B)
