Ecclesiastes 5:11
Compare all
9 Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.
10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
11 When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.
13 aThere is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun:
Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. 
14 But those riches perish through1 misfortune;
When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.
