15
Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. They take nothing from their toil that they can carry in their hands.
15
As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
15
As he came from his mother's womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands.
Ecclesiastes 5:15 In-Context
13
I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14
or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when they have children there is nothing left for them to inherit.
15
Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. They take nothing from their toil that they can carry in their hands.
16
This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?
17
All their days they eat in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.
