Ecclesiastes 5:13-17 - Hoarding Wealth Can Backfire

13 Yet is there a sore plague, which I have seen under the sun: namely, riches kept to the hurt of him that hath them in possession. 14 For oft times they perish with his great misery and trouble: and if he have a child it getteth nothing. 15 Like as he came naked out of his mother's womb, so goeth he thither again, and carryeth nothing away with him of all his labour. 16 This is a miserable plague, that he shall go away even as he came. What helpeth him then, that he hath labored in the wind? 17 All the days of his life also must he eat in the dark, with great carefulness, sickness and sorrow.
