Thematic Bible: Vanity of heaping up
Thematic Bible
Gold » Vanity of heaping up
I gathered silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, girls of all sorts to be my brides.
I looked at all the works my hands accomplished. I saw everything I had worked to do. I saw that all was vanity and grasping for the wind. It was to no purpose for there was no profit under the sun.
Riches » Vanity of heaping up
Every man walks about like a vain illusion. He makes a lot of noise over nothing. He hoards riches and does not know who will receive them.
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth, with gain. This too is vanity. When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to see them?
