Ecclesiastes 5:13-17 - Hoarding Wealth Can Backfire

¹³ I have observed a painful tragedy on earth: Wealth hoarded by its owner harms him, ¹⁴ and that wealth is lost in troubled circumstances. Then a son is born, but there is nothing left for him. ¹⁵ Just as he came naked from his mother's womb, he will leave as naked as he came; he will receive no profit from his efforts he cannot carry away even a handful. ¹⁶ This is also a painful tragedy: However a person comes, he also departs; so what does he gain as he labors after the wind? ¹⁷ Furthermore, all his days he lives in darkness with great sorrow, anger, and affliction.
