Ecclesiastes 5:13DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 13 of 20
"There is a sore evil I have seen under the sun, , riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt."
In context
11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good to the owners thereof, saving the beholding with their eyes?
12The sleep of a labouring man sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13There is a sore evil I have seen under the sun, , riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and nothing in his hand.
15As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
