'Increasing' in the Bible

Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.

I acquired male and female slaves, and had other slaves born in my house. I also acquired for myself increasing numbers of herds and flocks more than anyone who had lived before me in Jerusalem.

And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

{Increasing words only multiplies futility}, how does that profit anyone?
