Ecclesiastes 5:13-20

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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And this
<02090>
also [is] a sore
<02470> (8802)
evil
<07451>_,
[that] in all points
<05980>
as he came
<0935> (8804)_,
so shall he go
<03212> (8799)_:
and what profit
<03504>
hath he that hath laboured
<05998> (8799)
for the wind
<07307>_?
All his days
<03117>
also he eateth
<0398> (8799)
in darkness
<02822>_,
and [he hath] much
<07235> (8687)
sorrow
<03707> (8804)
and wrath
<07110>
with his sickness
<02483>_.
Behold [that] which I have seen
<07200> (8804)_:
[it is] good
<02896>
and comely
<03303>
[for one] to eat
<0398> (8800)
and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
and to enjoy
<07200> (8800)
the good
<02896>
of all his labour
<05999>
that he taketh
<05998> (8799)
under the sun
<08121>
all
<04557>
the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_,
which God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8804)
him: for it [is] his portion
<02506>_.
{It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc} {all the days: Heb. the number of the days}
Every man
<0120>
also to whom God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
riches
<06239>
and wealth
<05233>_,
and hath given him power
<07980> (8689)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
thereof, and to take
<05375> (8800)
his portion
<02506>_,
and to rejoice
<08055> (8800)
in his labour
<05999>_;
this
<02090>
[is] the gift
<04991>
of God
<0430>_.
For he shall not much
<07235> (8687)
remember
<02142> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_;
because God
<0430>
answereth
<06031> (8688)
[him] in the joy
<08057>
of his heart
<03820>_.
{For...: or, Though he give not much, yet he remembereth, etc}
