Ecclesiastes 5:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying.

¹³ Here is a terrible thing that I have seen in this world: people save up their money for a time when they may need it,^{[a] 14} and then lose it all in some bad deal and end up with nothing left to pass on to their children.
