⁶     Surely a man ^(A)goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing^[a] they are in turmoil;
    man ^(B)heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

¹⁷ he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
    and ^(A)the innocent will divide the silver.
¹⁸ He builds his ^(B)house like a moth's,
    like ^(C)a booth that ^(D)a watchman makes.
¹⁹ He goes to bed rich, but will ^(E)do so no more;
    he opens his eyes, and ^(F)his wealth is gone.
^20 (G)Terrors overtake him like ^(H)a flood;
    in the night a whirlwind ^(I)carries him off.
^21 (J)The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
    it ^(K)sweeps him out of his place.
²² It^[a] hurls at him ^(L)without pity;
    he flees from its^[b] power in headlong flight.
