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 advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?
12The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13There is a grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:
14and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for 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 shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind?
17All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed and hath sickness and wrath.
