Ecclesiastes 5:11-15

5:11

When goods
<02896>

increase
<07235> (8800)_,

they are increased
<07231> (8804)

that eat
<0398> (8802)

them: and what good
<03788>

[is there] to the owners
<01167>

thereof, saving
<0518>

the beholding
<07207> (8675) <07212> (8801)

[of them] with their eyes
<05869>_?

5:12

The sleep
<08142>

of a labouring man
<05647> (8802)

[is] sweet
<04966>_,

whether he eat
<0398> (8799)

little
<04592>

or much
<07235> (8687)_:

but the abundance
<07647>

of the rich
<06223>

will not suffer
<03240> (8688)

him to sleep
<03462> (8800)_.

5:13

There is
<03426>

a sore
<02470> (8802)

evil
<07451>

[which] I have seen
<07200> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_,

[namely], riches
<06239>

kept
<08104> (8803)

for the owners
<01167>

thereof to their hurt
<07451>_.

5:14

But those riches
<06239>

perish
<06> (8804)

by evil
<07451>

travail
<06045>_:

and he begetteth
<03205> (8689)

a son
<01121>_,

and [there is] nothing
<03972>

in his hand
<03027>_.

5:15

As he came forth
<03318> (8804)

of his mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_,

naked
<06174>

shall he return
<07725> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

as he came
<0935> (8804)_,

and shall take
<05375> (8799)

nothing
<03972>

of his labour
<05999>_,

which he may carry away
<03212> (8686)

in his hand
<03027>_.
