Ecclesiastes 5:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 As he came from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came;(A) he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands. 16 This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain(B) who struggles for the wind?(C) 17 What is more, he eats in darkness all his days,(D) with much frustration, sickness, and anger.

Ecclesiastes 5:15-17
New International Version
15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.(A)
They take nothing from their toil(B)
that they can carry in their hands.(C)
16 This too is a grievous evil:
As everyone comes, so they depart,
and what do they gain,
since they toil for the wind?(D)
17 All their days they eat in darkness,
with great frustration, affliction and anger.
