11. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: so what good is there to the owners, except the beholding of 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 allow him to sleep.
13. There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by their owners to their hurt.
14. But those riches are lost by a bad venture: when he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15. As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing from his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16. And this also is a great evil, that just as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he who has labored for the wind?
17. All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
18. Behold that which I have seen: it is good and fitting for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for this is his lot.
