13 (5:12) Yet is there a sore plague which I haue seene vnder the sunne namely riches kept to the hurt of him that hath them in possession: 14 (5:13) For oft tymes they perishe with his great miserie and trouble: and yf he haue a chylde, it getteth nothyng. 15 (5:14) Lyke as he came naked out of his mothers wombe, so goeth he thyther agayne, and caryeth nothyng away with him of all his labour. 16 (5:15) This is a miserable plague, that he shall go euen as he came away: What helpeth it him then that he hath laboured in the wynde? 17 (5:16) All the dayes of his lyfe also he dyd eate in the darke, with great carefulnesse, sicknesse, and sorowe.
