Ecclesiastes 5:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 The produce of the land is exploited by everyone;
even the king profits from the field of the poor![a]
There is Never Enough Money to Satisfy
10 Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money,
and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit.
This also is vanity!
11 When prosperity increases,
those who consume it increase.
So its owner gains nothing,
except to see his wealth before it is spent.[b]
