Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

^15 (A)As he had come naked from his mother’s womb, so will he return as he came. He will ^(B)take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand. ¹⁶ This also is a grievous evil—exactly as a man ^[a]is born, thus will he ^[b]die. So ^(C)what is the advantage to him who ^(D)toils for the wind? ¹⁷ Throughout his life ^(E)he also eats in darkness with ^(F)great vexation, sickness and anger.
