10Anyone who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver, and anyone who loves wealth always wants more. This, too, is vapor.
11As prosperity increases, so also do the people who consume it. What advantage in wealth is there to the owner except to watch it with his eyes?
12The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or a lot, but the wealth of a rich person does not allow him to sleep well.
13There is an evil that I have seen under the sun: riches hoarded by the owner, resulting in his own misery.
14When the rich man loses his wealth through bad luck, his own son, one whom he has fathered, is left with nothing in his hands.
15As a man comes from his mother's womb, so also he will leave naked. He can take none of the fruits of his labor in his hand.
16Another evil is that as a person comes, so he goes away. So what profit is there for him who works for the wind?
17During his days he eats with darkness and is greatly distressed with sickness and anger.
18Look, what I have seen to be good and suitable is to eat and drink and to enjoy the gain from all our work, as we labor under the sun during the days of this life that God has given us. For this is man's assignment.
19Anyone to whom God has given riches and wealth and the ability to receive his share and rejoice in his work—this is a gift from God.
