Ecclesiastes 5:12-14
New International Reader's Version
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.
14 It’s also when wealth is lost
because of an unwise business deal.
Then there won’t be anything left
for the owners’ children.
