Ecclesiastes 5:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Something may happen in the future
    that causes their money to disappear.
After they die,
    no money remains for their children.
¹⁵ When people are born,
    they bring nothing with them.
When they die,
    they take nothing away with them.
All their hard work finally leaves them with nothing.
¹⁶ This is also a terrible thing to happen.
People leave this earth with nothing,
    as they came into it with nothing.
All their hard work has been useless,
    like someone who tries to catch the wind.
