Ecclesiastes 5:14

14 They lose it all in a bad deal and have nothing to give to their children.

Ecclesiastes 5:14 In-Context

12 Those who work hard sleep in peace; it is not important if they eat little or much. But rich people worry about their wealth and cannot sleep.
13 I have seen real misery here on earth: Money saved is a curse to its owners.
14 They lose it all in a bad deal and have nothing to give to their children.
15 People come into this world with nothing, and when they die they leave with nothing. In spite of all their hard work, they leave just as they came.
16 This, too, is real misery: They leave just as they came. So what do they gain from chasing the wind?
