Ecclesiastes 5:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ Suddenly they lose everything in a bad business deal, then have nothing to leave for their children. ^15 (A) They came into this world naked, and when they die, they will be just as naked. They can't take anything with them, and they won't have anything to show for all their work. ¹⁶ That's terribly unfair. They leave the world just as they came. They gained nothing from running after the wind.
