Ecclesiastes 6:2

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

A man is, to whom God gave riches, and chattel [or substance], and honour; and nothing faileth to his soul of all things which he desireth; and God giveth not power to him, that he eat thereof, but a strange man shall devour it. This is vanity, and a great wretchedness.
