Ecclesiastes 5:11-15
Ecclesiastes 5:11
When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look at them?
Ecclesiastes 5:12
The sleep of the laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich person does not allow him to sleep.
Ecclesiastes 5:13
There is a sickening evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth being hoarded by its owner to his detriment.
Ecclesiastes 5:14
When that wealth was lost through bad business and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing to support him.
Ecclesiastes 5:15
As he came naked from his mother’s womb, so he will return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.
