13 <V 5:12>There is even another most burdensome infirmity, which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept to the harm of the owner. 14 <V 5:13>For they are lost in a most grievous affliction. He has produced a son, who will be in the utmost destitution. 15 <V 5:14>Just as he went forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and he shall take nothing with him from his labors. 16 <V 5:15>It is an utterly miserable infirmity that, in the same manner as he has arrived, so shall he return. How then does it benefit him, since he has labored for the wind? 17 <V 5:16>All the days of his life he consumes: in darkness, and with many worries, and in distress as well as sadness.
