Ecclesiastes 5:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5
13 Hay una trabajosa enfermedad que he visto debajo del sol: las riquezas guardadas de sus dueños para su mal;
14 Las cuales se pierden en malas ocupaciones, y á los hijos que engendraron nada les queda en la mano.
15 Como salió del vientre de su madre, desnudo, así se vuelve, tornando como vino; y nada tuvo de su trabajo para llevar en su mano.
16 Este también es un gran mal, que como vino, así haya de volver. ¿Y de qué le aprovechó trabajar al viento?
17 Demás de esto, todos los días de su vida comerá en tinieblas, con mucho enojo y dolor y miseria.
