Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

¹⁵As a man came from his mother’s womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labor to carry in his hands.

¹⁶This too is a grievous evil: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?

¹⁷Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.
