Ecclesiastes 5:16 (ESV)

16 This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind?

Anyone who lives for wealth and then loses it will get the shock of his life. It feels as if this is the worst thing that could happen to you. Great anger and rage enter your life.
