14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,

so that when they have children

there is nothing left for them to inherit.

14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.

14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

14 Money is put into risky investments that turn sour, and everything is lost. In the end, there is nothing left to pass on to one’s children.

14 They lose it all in a bad deal

and have nothing to give to their children.

14 and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

14 or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

14 These hoarded riches were then lost in bad business deals. The owners had children, but now they have nothing to give them.

14 That wealth was lost in a bad venture, so when he fathered a son, he was empty-handed.

14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture; though they are parents of children, they have nothing in their hands.

14 That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, he has nothing to leave to him.

14 It’s also when wealth is lost

because of an unwise business deal.

Then there won’t be anything left

for the owner’s son.

14 When those riches were lost through a bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing to support him.
