(5-12) There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner.
14
(5-13) For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want.
15
(5-14) As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and shall take nothing away with him of his labour.
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?
17
(5-16) All the days of his life he eateth in darkness, and in many cares, and in misery, and sorrow.
18
(5-17) This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion.
19
(5-18) And every man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to enjoy his portion, and to rejoice of his labour: this is the gift of God.
20
(5-19) For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God entertaineth his heart with delight.
