Ecclesiastes 5:9-13 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

10. He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

11. When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

13. There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
