Covetousness

5:10 The one who loves money28 will never be satisfied with money,29

he who loves wealth30 will never be satisfied31 with his32 income.

This also is futile.

5:11 When someone’s33 prosperity34 increases, those who consume it also increase;

so what does its owner35 gain, except that he gets to see it with his eyes?36

5:12 The sleep of the laborer is pleasant—whether he eats little or much—

but the wealth of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
