9 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.
10 When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?
11 The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.
12 There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.
13 And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.
14 As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
15 And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
