Ecclesiastes 5:15 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Ecclesiastes 5:15

13 ^aThere is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun:
Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

14 But those riches perish through¹ misfortune;
When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.

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.

16 And this also is a severe evil—
Just exactly as he came, so shall he go.
And ^awhat profit has he ^bwho has labored for the wind?

17 All his days ^ahe also eats in darkness,
And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.
