Ecclesiastes 5:13-15
21st Century King James Version
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely: riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail; and when he begetteth a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor which he may carry away in his hand.

Ecclesiastes 5:13-15
New International Version
13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:(A)
wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
there is nothing left for them to inherit.
15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.(B)
They take nothing from their toil(C)
that they can carry in their hands.(D)
