Hoarding Wealth Can Backfire

Hoarding Wealth Can Backfire

13There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth ⌊hoarded⌋[fn] by its owner to his harm. 14That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, ⌊he has nothing to leave to him⌋.[fn] 15Just as he came from his mother’s womb naked, ⌊he will depart⌋[fn] just as he came; he will take nothing with him for his toil. 16This also is a grievous illness. Exactly as he came, so he will go. What profit does he gain for all his toil for the wind? 17Also, he eats in darkness all his days; he is frustrated in much sickness and resentment.



5:13 Literally “kept ”

5:14 Literally “he has nothing in his hand”

5:15 Literally “return to go”
