Ecclesiastes 5:10-20

New International Version

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 owners
    except to feast their eyes on them?

¹² The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
    whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
    permits them no sleep.^(A)

wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
¹⁴     or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
    there is nothing left for them to inherit.
¹⁵ Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
    and as everyone comes, so they depart.^(C)
They take nothing from their toil^(D)
    that they can carry in their hands.^(E)

As everyone comes, so they depart,
    and what do they gain,
    since they toil for the wind?^(F)
17 All their days they eat in darkness,
    with great frustration, affliction and anger.
