12There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.
13And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and the man begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
14As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labour, that it should go with him in his hand.
15And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labours?
16Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath.
17Behold, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing for a man to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labour in which he may labour under the sun, all the number of the days of his life which God has given to him: for it is his portion.
