Ecclesiastes 5:10

Ecclesiastes 5:10 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

10Whoever loves money never has enough;

whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.

This too is meaningless.

10One who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor one who loves abundance with its income. This too is futility.

10He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness).

10He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.

10He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

10When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good commeth to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes?

10He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

10Anyone who loves money never has enough.

Anyone who loves wealth is never satisfied with what they get.

That doesn’t have any meaning either.

10People who love money never have enough.

They may get more and more valuable things,

but they are never happy.

This also has no purpose.

10Whoever is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is] vanity.
