¹⁵ When people are born,
    they bring nothing with them.
When they die,
    they take nothing away with them.
All their hard work finally leaves them with nothing.
¹⁶ This is also a terrible thing to happen.
People leave this earth with nothing,
    as they came into it with nothing.
All their hard work has been useless,
    like someone who tries to catch the wind.
¹⁷ Even if people are rich, they do not enjoy their food.
    They suffer all through their lives.
    They are upset, angry and sick.
