Ecclesiastes 5:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 There is an evil sickness that I have seen under the sun: to wit, riches [a]reserved to the owners thereof for their evil.
13 And these riches perish by evil travail, and he begetteth a son, and in his [b]hand is nothing.
14 (A)As he came forth of his mother’s belly, he shall return naked to go as he came, and shall bear away nothing of his labor, which he hath caused to pass by his hand.
