Ecclesiastes 5:13


Ecclesiastes 5:12 Ecclesiastes 5:13 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:14
The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
