Ecclesiastes 5:10
Thomson 1808
A lover of silver cannot be satisfied with silver; but did anyone ever love what the abundance of this produceth? Surely this is vanity.
Brenton 1851
In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding it with his eyes?
Greek · Brenton
Ἐν πλήθει ἀγαθωσύνης ἐπληθύνθησαν ἔσθοντες αὐτήν· καὶ τί ἀνδρεία τῷ παρʼ αὐτῆς; ὅτι ἀρχὴ τοῦ ὁρᾷν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
