Ecclesiastes 5:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹Sleep is sweet to the laborer,
whether he has much or little to eat,
but the vast riches of a wealthy man
do not allow him to sleep.

¹²There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun:

Riches are hoarded by their owner to his disadvantage,
¹³or riches are lost by some misfortune,
so that he has nothing remaining to leave to his son.

Ecclesiastes 5:11-13

New International Version

¹¹As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them?

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

¹³I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:^(B)

wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
