Ecclesiastes 5:9-10 in English

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

⁹ He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.

¹⁰ In 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?

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

⁹ He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.

¹⁰ In 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?

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this also is vanity.

⁹ and even the king forces the people to give him some of the crops that they harvest.

¹⁰ Everyone who tries to get as much money as they can will never think that they have enough. They will never be satisfied with the money that they have. That also is senseless.

⁹ He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.

¹⁰ In 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?

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.

¹⁰ He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

⁹ Moreover the earth is every way profitable: the king himself is dependent upon the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity.

¹⁰ Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes?

⁹ However, what the land produces is for everyone—even the king benefits from what is grown.

¹⁰ People who love money never have enough money; those who love wealth never have enough income. This too is so temporary and makes little sense.

⁹ He that loueth siluer, shall not be satisfied with siluer, and he that loueth riches, shalbe without the fruite thereof: this also is vanitie.

¹⁰ When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good commeth to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes?

⁹ (5-8) But the profit of a land every way is a king that maketh himself servant to the field.

¹⁰ (5-9) He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase; this also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

⁹ (5:8) But the advantage of a land in all things is, a king who is subject to the country.

¹⁰ (5:9) He that loveth money will never be satisfied with money; nor he that loveth abundance, with any increase. Also this is vanity.

⁹ He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: And who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? This is also vanity.

¹⁰ In 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?

⁹ An advantage to a land in all respects is a king over cultivated ground.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; and he that loveth riches shall have no profit from them. This also is vanity.

⁹ In addition, the produce of the land is for everyone, and the king himself takes produce from the fields.

¹⁰ Anyone who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver, and anyone who loves wealth always wants more. This, too, is vapor.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover, the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

¹⁰ He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

¹⁰ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

⁹ and furthermore the king of all earth commandeth to the servant.

¹⁰ An avaricious man shall not be ful filled of money; and he that loveth riches shall not take fruits of them; and therefore this is vanity.

⁹ and furthermore the king of all (the) earth commandeth to the servant. (and ultimately the King of all the earth commandeth to all his servants.)

¹⁰ An avaricious man shall not be ful filled of money; and he that loveth riches shall not take (the) fruits of them; and therefore this is vanity. (A greedy person shall never be fulfilled, or filled full, with money; and he who loveth riches shall never truly enjoy their fruits, or their earnings; and so this is empty and futile.)

⁹ And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.

¹⁰ Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied with silver, nor he who is in love with stores with increase. Even this is vanity.
