Ecclesiastes 5:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5
13 Há um mal causador de sofrimentos que vi abaixo do sol: as riquezas que seus donos guardam para seu próprio mal.
14 Porque as mesmas riquezas se perdem com negócios malsucedidos; e quando gera algum filho, nada lhe fica em sua mão.
15 Assim como ele saiu do ventre de sua mãe, nu ele voltará, indo-se como veio; e nada tomará de seu trabalho, que possa levar em sua mão.
16 De maneira que isto também é um mal causador de sofrimentos, que exatamente como veio, assim se vai; e que proveito ele teve em trabalhar para o vento?
17 Além disso, ele comeu em trevas todos os seus dias; sofreu muito, e teve enfermidades e irritações.
