Romans 5:12-14
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law.Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression. He is a prototype of the Coming One.

Ecclesiastes 2:16-21
For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise man dies just like the fool?Therefore, I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.When there is a man whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.

Jeremiah 10:8
They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2
Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: the righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands. People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.Everything is the same for everyone: there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as for the one who takes an oath, so for the one who fears an oath.
-
Ecclesiastes 5:13-16
There is a sickening tragedy I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.That wealth was lost in a bad venture, so when he fathered a son, he was empty-handed.As he came from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands.This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?
-
Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but one who hates correction is stupid.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:26
For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
-
Proverbs 11:4

With Your hand, Lord, save me from men, from men of the world whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store; their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.

Psalms 49:17
For when he dies, he will take nothing at all; his wealth will not follow him down.

1 Timothy 6 6-1 Timothy 6 10
But godliness with contentment is a great gain.For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
