Ecclesiastes 5:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 A man who works hard sleeps in peace.
It is not important if he has little or much to eat.
But a rich person worries about his wealth.
He cannot sleep.
13 I have seen something unfair here on earth:
A person suffers harm from saving up his money.
14 Then he loses it all in a bad deal.
So he has nothing
to give to his son.
Ecclesiastes 5:12-14
New International Version
12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
permits them no sleep.(A)
13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:(B)
wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
there is nothing left for them to inherit.
