Thematic Bible: Vanity of heaping up
Thematic Bible
Gold » Vanity of heaping up
I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides.
Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Riches » Vanity of heaping up
Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.
He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose. When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?
