Ecclesiastes 5:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 A country is best served when a king is in charge of the fertile fields.[a]
Money: An Insatiable Desire
9 One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money,
nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain.
This too is vanity.
10 When riches increase,
so do those who are eager to accumulate them,
and those who have accumulated them must remain content
simply to feast their eyes on them.
