11 When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?

12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.
15 aAs he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return,
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand.
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand.
