Ecclesiastes 5:10-17

10He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase. This also is vanity.

11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what profit is there to the owner thereof, except the beholding [of them] with his eyes?

12The sleep of the labourer is sweet, whether he have eaten little or much; but the fulness of the rich doth not suffer him to sleep.

13There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt;

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

15As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go away again as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

16And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came so doth he go away, and what profit hath he, in having laboured for the wind?

17All his days also he eateth in darkness, and hath much vexation, and sickness, and irritation.
