The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.

10 Whoever loves money never has enough;
    whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
    This too is meaningless.

11 As goods increase,
    so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
    except to feast their eyes on them?

12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
    whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
    permits them no sleep.(A)

13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:(B)

wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14     or wealth lost through some misfortune,

    there is nothing left for them to inherit.
15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
    and as everyone comes, so they depart.(C)
They take nothing from their toil(D)
    that they can carry in their hands.(E)

16 This too is a grievous evil:

    and what do they gain,
    since they toil for the wind?(F)
17 All their days they eat in darkness,
    with great frustration, affliction and anger.
