Ecclesiastes 5:13-17 - Hoarding Wealth Can Backfire

13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun. I have seen riches being hoarded by their owner to his downfall (distress). 14 When those riches were lost through a bad investment and he fathered a son, then there was no support for him. 15 We entered this world with nothing and naked and we will leave this world with nothing and naked. 16 This also is a serious evil. Just as we came we will go. Whatever profit or gain we earned we loose as if we labored for the wind. 17 All his days he eats in darkness. He has much sorrow and anger with his sickness.
