כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר יָצָא֙ מִבֶּ֣טֶן אִמּ֔וֹ עָר֖וֹם יָשׁ֣וּב לָלֶ֑כֶת כְּשֶׁבָּ֕א וּמְא֥וּמָה לֹ֛א יִשָּׂ֥א בַעֲמָל֖וֹ שֶׁיֵּלֵ֥ךְ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
kaʾasher yaṣaʾ mibeṭen ʾimvo ʿarvom yashvb laleket kshebaʾ vmʾvmah loʾ yishaʾ baʿamalvo sheyelek byadvo
King James Version (KJV)

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

Modern English

As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand.
