Ecclesiastes 5:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ People come into the world with nothing. And when they die, they leave with nothing. They might work hard to get things, but they cannot take anything with them when they die. ¹⁶ It is very sad that people leave the world just as they came. So what does a person gain from “trying to catch the wind”? ¹⁷ They only get days that are filled with sadness and sorrow. In the end, they are troubled, sick, and angry.
