What the Fathers say

Ecclesiastes 5:15

Western Saints

Bonaventure

And thus riches that are preserved are not left to the heir, nor can they be carried away by the possessor: whence he adds: "As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, so shall he return," not into the womb, but into the earth. "And he shall take nothing with him of his labor:" Job one: "Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither."
