There Is Never Enough Money To Satisfy
9 The whole land also with the fields and all that is therein, is in subjection and bondage unto the king. 10 He that loveth money, will never be satisfied with money: and whoso delighteth in riches, shall have no profit thereof. Is not this also a vain thing? 11 Whereas many riches are, there are many also that spend them away. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, saving that he may look upon them with his eyes?
