Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people will come to help you spend it. so what good is wealth-except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!
People who work hard and sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep. (vv. 10-12, NLT)
Even so, I have noticed one thing, a least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God gives them. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life-this is indeed a gift from God. God keep such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past. (vv. 18-20, NLT)
