¹⁰ Anyone who loves money never has enough. Anyone who loves wealth is never satisfied with what he gets. That doesn't have any meaning either. ¹¹ As more and more goods are made, more and more people use them up. So how can those goods benefit their owner? All he can do is look at them with longing. ¹² The sleep of a worker is sweet. It doesn't matter whether he eats a little or a lot. But the wealth of a rich man keeps him awake at night.
