Ecclesiastes 5:14
or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on.
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
