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.
