Ecclesiastes 5:15 - King James Version (Oxford) 1769As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. See the chapterMore versionsAmplified Bible - Classic EditionAs [the man] came forth from his mother's womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; and he will take away nothing for all his labor which he can carry in his hand. See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand. See the chapterCommon English BibleJust as they came from their mother’s womb naked, naked they’ll return, ending up just like they started. All their hard work produces nothing—nothing they can take with them. See the chapterCatholic Public Domain VersionIt is an utterly miserable infirmity that, in the same manner as he has arrived, so shall he return. How then does it benefit him, since he has labored for the wind? See the chapterDouay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionA most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return.
