2. Wealth Brings Difficulties 5:13-17
Ecc 5:13
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.Ecc 5:14
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.Ecc 5:15
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.Ecc 5:16
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?Ecc 5:17
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
