Ecclesiastes 5:11-16

When goods
<02896>
increase
<07235> (8800)_,
they are increased
<07231> (8804)
that eat
<0398> (8802)
them: and what good
<03788>
[is there] to the owners
<01167>
thereof, saving
<0518>
the beholding
<07207> (8675) <07212> (8801)
[of them] with their eyes
<05869>_?
The sleep
<08142>
of a labouring man
<05647> (8802)
[is] sweet
<04966>_,
whether he eat
<0398> (8799)
little
<04592>
or much
<07235> (8687)_:
but the abundance
<07647>
of the rich
<06223>
will not suffer
<03240> (8688)
him to sleep
<03462> (8800)_.
There is
<03426>
a sore
<02470> (8802)
evil
<07451>
[which] I have seen
<07200> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_,
[namely], riches
<06239>
kept
<08104> (8803)
for the owners
<01167>
thereof to their hurt
<07451>_.
But those riches
<06239>
perish
<06> (8804)
by evil
<07451>
travail
<06045>_:
and he begetteth
<03205> (8689)
a son
<01121>_,
and [there is] nothing
<03972>
in his hand
<03027>_.
As he came forth
<03318> (8804)
of his mother's
<0517>
womb
<0990>_,
naked
<06174>
shall he return
<07725> (8799)
to go
<03212> (8800)
as he came
<0935> (8804)_,
and shall take
<05375> (8799)
nothing
<03972>
of his labour
<05999>_,
which he may carry away
<03212> (8686)
in his hand
<03027>_.
And this
<02090>
also [is] a sore
<02470> (8802)
evil
<07451>_,
[that] in all points
<05980>
as he came
<0935> (8804)_,
so shall he go
<03212> (8799)_:
and what profit
<03504>
hath he that hath laboured
<05998> (8799)
for the wind
<07307>_?
