Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ People come ·into this world [^Lfrom the womb of their mother] ·with nothing [naked],
    and when they ·die [return] they leave with nothing.
In spite of all their hard ·work [toil],
    they leave just as they came.
¹⁶ This, too, is ·real misery [a sickening evil]:
They leave just as they came.
    So what do they ·gain [profit] from chasing the wind?
¹⁷ ·All they get are days full of sadness and sorrow [^LThey eat all their days in darkness],
    and they end up sick, defeated, and ·angry [frustrated].
