Ecclesiastes 5:9-13

Ecclesiastes · The Illustrated Bible · TruthPrints
An oil painting in the tradition of the old masters — for this passage of Scripture.

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all.

The king profits from the field.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase.

This also is vanity.

When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
