Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

New American Standard Bible

^15 (A)As he came naked from his mother’s womb, so he will return as he came. He will ^(B)take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand. ¹⁶ This also is a sickening evil: exactly as a person ^[a]is born, so will he ^[b]die. ^(C)What then is the advantage for him who ^(D)labors for the wind? ¹⁷ All his life ^(E)he also eats in darkness with ^(F)great irritation, sickness, and anger.
