Ecclesiastes 5:13 - The Message

Here’s a piece of bad luck I’ve seen happen:
   A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him
   And then loses it all in a bad business deal.
   He fathered a child but hasn’t a cent left to give him.
   He arrived naked from the womb of his mother;
   He’ll leave in the same condition—with nothing.
   This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went.
   So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke?
   All for a miserable life spent in the dark?
