Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ A person comes into this world with nothing.
    And when he dies, he leaves with nothing.
In spite of all his hard work,
    he leaves exactly as he came.
¹⁶ This, too, is unfair:
He leaves exactly as he came.
    So what does he gain from chasing the wind?
¹⁷ All he gets are days filled with sadness and sorrow.
    He ends up sick, defeated and angry.
