10In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding it with his eyes?
11The sleep of a servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers him to sleep.
12There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.
13And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and the man begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
14As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labor, that it should go with him in his hand.
15And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labors?
16Yes, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath.
17Behold, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing for a man to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor in which he may labor under the sun, all the number of the days of his life which God has given to him: for it is his portion.
18Yes, and as for every man to whom God has given wealth and possessions, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to receive his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
19For he shall not much remember the days of his life; for God troubles him in the mirth of his heart.
