Ecclesiastes 5:15

Penger og rikdom Døden og å miste noen Tilfredshet

¹³ There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

¹⁴ or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on.

As a man came from his mother’s womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labor to carry in his hands.

¹⁶ This too is a grievous evil: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?

¹⁷ Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.
