Ecclesiastes 5:11-13
New International Reader's Version
11 As more and more goods are made,
more and more people use them up.
So how can those goods benefit their owners?
All they can do is look at them with desire.
12 The sleep of a worker is sweet.
It doesn’t matter whether they eat a little or a lot.
But the wealth of rich people
keeps them awake at night.
13 I’ve seen something very evil on earth.
It’s when wealth is stored up
and then brings harm to its owners.
