Ecclesiastes 5:16


Ecclesiastes 5:15 Ecclesiastes 5:16 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:17
As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
