Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. There is another evil I have seen under the sun, and it weighs heavily upon humankind:

2. There is one to whom God gives riches and property and honor, and who lacks nothing the heart could desire; yet God does not grant the power to partake of them, but a stranger devours them. This is vanity and a dire plague.
