Ecclesiastes 5:12-19

¹²(5:11) Sweet is the sleep of the laboring man, whether he eat little or much; but the overabundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

¹³(5:12) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches reserved for their owner to his own hurt.

¹⁴(5:13) And these riches are lost through an unfortunate event; and he begetteth a son, and hath not the least in his hand:

¹⁵(5:14) As he came forth out of his mother's womb, naked will he return to go as he came; and not the least will he carry off for his toil, which he might take away with him.

¹⁶(5:15) And also this is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so must he go: and what profit hath he that hath toiled for the wind?

¹⁷(5:16) All his days also had he to eat in darkness, and hath had much vexation and wrath with his sickness.

¹⁸(5:17) Behold, what I have truly seen as a good thing, that it is fitting to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all one's toil that he taketh under the sun the number of the days of his life, which God hath given him; for this is his portion.

¹⁹(5:18) Also every man to whom God hath given riches and property, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his toil— this is the gift of God.
