Ecclesiastes5:16
16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind ?
Which I have last mentioned and shall now repeat.
For Riches, which are empty and unsatisfying, uncertain and transitory, fleeing away swiftly and strongly, Prov. 23. 5. which no Man can hold or stay in its course, all which are the properties of the Wind. Compare Prov. 11. 29. Hos. 12. 1.
