Ecclesiastes 5:16

Eia ka mea pono ole; e like loa me kona puka ana mai, pela no kona hele ana aku. Heaha kona pono i kana hana ana no ka makani?

Baibala Hemolele

In The King James Version

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?
