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.
19. Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
20. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.
