13 There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil. 14 And that wealth has been lost in an evil business, and he has begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand! 15 As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turns back to go as he came, and he does not take away anything of his labor, that goes in his hand. 16 And this also [is] a painful evil, just as he came, so he goes, and what advantage [is] to him who labors for wind? 17 He also consumes all his days in darkness, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.
