Ecclesiastes 5:10


← Ecclesiastes 5:9 Ecclesiastes 5:10 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:11 →
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
