7 for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;
and he saith, `Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'
For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand. And this also `is' a painful evil, just as he came, so he goeth, and what advantage `is' to him who laboureth for wind?
For riches `are' not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.
