Ecclesiastes 5:10-14

1. 10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

2. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

3. 12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

4. 13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

5. 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
