11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners of them, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
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.
