Ecclesiastes 5:11

Hebrew	מְתוּקָה֙ שְׁנַ֣ת הָעֹבֵ֔ד אִם מְעַ֥ט וְאִם הַרְבֵּ֖ה יֹאכֵ֑ל וְהַשָּׂבָע֙ לֶֽעָשִׁ֔יר אֵינֶ֛נּוּ מַנִּ֥יחַֽ ל֖וֹ לִישֽׁוֹן
ESV	When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
NIV	As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owner except to feast his eyes on them?
NLT	The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth– except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!
