“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.”
“Just as he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked will he return as he came, and he will take nothing in his hand that he may carry away from his toil.”
“A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?”
