"He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
— Ecclesiastes 5:10, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.”
“He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity. ”
“He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.”

“He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.”

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

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
