Ecclesiastes 5:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 (A)As he had come naked from his mother’s womb, so will he return as he came. He will (B)carry nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can bring in his hand. 16 This also is a sickening evil—exactly as a man came, so will he go. So (C)what is the advantage to him who (D)labors for the wind? 17 Also, all his days (E)he eats in darkness with (F)much vexation, and his 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.
