Ecclesiastes 5:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² Sweet is the sleep of laborers, whether they eat little or much, but the abundance of the rich will not let them sleep.^(A)

¹³ There is a grievous ill that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owners to their hurt,^{(B) 14} and those riches were lost in a bad venture; though they are parents of children, they have nothing in their hands.
