Ecclesiastes 5:11-16
11
As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owner
except to feast his eyes on them?
12
The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether he eats little or much,
but the abundance of a rich man
permits him no sleep.
13
I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:
wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,
14
or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when he has a son
there is nothing left for him.
15
Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb,
and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor
that he can carry in his hand.
16
This too is a grievous evil:
As a man comes, so he departs,
and what does he gain,
since he toils for the wind?
