Ecclesiastes 5:15-17
New International Reader's Version

15 Everyone is born naked.
    They come into the world with nothing.
    And they go out of it with nothing.
They don’t get anything from their work
    that they can take with them.

16 Here’s something else that is very evil.

Everyone is born, and everyone dies.
    And what do they get for their work?
    Nothing. It’s like working for the wind.
17 All their lives they eat in darkness.
    Their lives are full of trouble, suffering and anger.
