Ecclesiastes:5:10-16

*
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver ;
nor he that loveth abundance with increase t @
buw #
ah #:
this is also vanity .
*
When goods increase ,
they are increased that eat them :
and what good is there to the owners thereof ,
saving the beholding ra #
of them with their eyes ?
*
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet ,
whether he eat little or much :
but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep .
*
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun ,
namely ,
riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt .
*
But those riches perish by evil travail :
and he begetteth a son ,
and there is nothing in his hand .
*
As he came forth of his mothers womb ,
naked shall he return to go as he came ,
and shall take nothing of his labour ,
which he may carry away in his hand .
*
And this also is a sore evil ,
that in all points as he came ,
so shall he go :
and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind ?
