Ecclesiastes 5:9-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ The profit from the land is taken by all; the king is served by the field.^[a](A)

¹⁰ The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile. ¹¹ When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes?
