Ecclesiastes 5:10-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 The lover of money will not be satisfied with money, nor the lover of wealth with gain. This also is vanity.(A)
11 When goods increase, those who eat them increase, and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
12 Sweet is the sleep of laborers, whether they eat little or much, but the abundance of the rich will not let them sleep.(B)
13 There is a grievous ill that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owners to their hurt,(C) 14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture; though they are parents of children, they have nothing in their hands.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-14
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)
13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:(B)
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.
