14 And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.
15 As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
16 And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
17 All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.
18 This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.
