Ecclesiastes 5:10-14

American Standard Version

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity. ¹¹ When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? ¹² The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. ¹³ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt: ¹⁴ and those riches perish by evil ^[a]adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
