Ecclesiastes 5:12-17 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

12. The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eateth little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

13. There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners of them to their hurt.

14. But those riches perish by evil labor: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

15. As he came into the world, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

16. And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind?

17. All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
