Ecclesiastes 5:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² The sleep of a worker is sweet.
    It doesn’t matter whether they eat a little or a lot.
But the wealth of rich people
    keeps them awake at night.

It’s when wealth is stored up
    and then brings harm to its owners.
¹⁴ It’s also when wealth is lost
    because of an unwise business deal.
Then there won’t be anything left
    for the owners’ children.
