Verse Concepts
When you set your eyes on wealth, it is [suddenly] gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies to the heavens.
“Like the partridge that hatches eggs which she has not laid,
So is he who makes a fortune in ways that are unjust.
It will be lost to him before his days are over,
And in the end he will be [nothing but] a fool.”
For we have brought nothing into the world, so [it is clear that] we cannot take anything out of it, either.
Verse Concepts
“The produce and increase of his house will depart [with the victors];
His possessions will be dragged away in the day of God’s wrath.
For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.
So I hated all the fruit (gain) of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will succeed me.
Verse Concepts
For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
