Ecclesiastes 5:16-17

NAS

NIV

16 This also is a grievous evil -exactly as a man is born, thus will he die. So what is the advantage to him who toils 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?
17 Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.
17 All their days they eat in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.
