Ecclesiastes 5:15-16

Eccl.5.15-Eccl.5.16

15As he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. 16This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind?
