Psalms 17:14

14 from men by your hand, O Lord,
from ^amen of the world whose ^bportion is in this life. ^{▼▼Or from men whose portion in life is of the world}
You fill their womb with treasure; ^{▼▼Or As for your treasured ones, you fill their womb}
they are satisfied with ^echildren,
and they leave their abundance to their infants.

Psalms 39:6

6 Surely a man ^fgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing ^{▼▼Hebrew Surely as a breath} they are in turmoil;
man ^hheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

17 ⁱFor when he dies he will ^jcarry nothing away;

Ecclesiastes 2:18-19

The Vanity of Toil

18 I hated ^mall my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must ⁿleave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 2:21

21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

26 For to the one who pleases him ^oGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given ^pthe business of gathering and collecting, ^qonly to give to one who pleases God. ^rThis also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:13-16

13 ^sThere is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, 14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand. 15 ^tAs he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. 16 This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what ^ugain is there to him who ^vtoils for the wind?

Jeremiah 17:11

11 Like the ^wpartridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is ^xhe who gets riches but not by justice;
^yin the midst of his days they will leave him,
^zand at his end he will be a fool.
