10 Whoever loves money never has enough;whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.This too is meaningless.
11 As goods increase,so do those who consume them.And what benefit are they to the ownersexcept to feast their eyes on them?
12 The sleep of a labourer is sweet,whether they eat little or much,but as for the rich, their abundancepermits them no sleep.
13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,so that when they have childrenthere is nothing left for them to inherit.
15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,and as everyone comes, so they depart.They take nothing from their toilthat they can carry in their hands.
16 This too is a grievous evil:as everyone comes, so they depart,and what do they gain,since they toil for the wind?
