Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

New International Version NIV

16 (5-15) A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?

16 This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?
