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.
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?
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.
And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.
18 Here is what I have seen: aIt is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; bfor it is his heritage.
19 As for aevery man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his1 heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the bgift of God.
