Ecclesiastes 5:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ They lose it all in a bad deal
and have nothing to give to their children.
¹⁵ People come into this world with nothing,
    and when they die they leave with nothing.
In spite of all their hard work,
    they leave just as they came.
¹⁶ This, too, is real misery:
They leave just as they came.
    So what do they gain from chasing the wind?
