Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible

10 (A)He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its produce. This too is [a]vanity. 11 (B)When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the success to their masters except to look on with their eyes? 12 The sleep of the laboring man is (C)sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the satisfaction of the rich man does not [b]allow him to sleep.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
New International Version

10 Whoever loves money never has enough;
    whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
    This too is meaningless.

11 As goods increase,
    so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
    except to feast their eyes on them?

12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
    whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
    permits them no sleep.(A)
