Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 10 of 20

"He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this also vanity."
Ecclesiastes 5:10

In context

8If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for higher than the highest regardeth; and higher than they.

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

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

11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good to the owners thereof, saving the beholding with their eyes?

12The sleep of a labouring man sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
