Ecclesiastes 5:9-14 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

9. And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.

10. Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is] vanity.

11. In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?

12. Sweet [is] the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep.

13. There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.

14. And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!
