Ecclesiastes 5:11-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
11
When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look
at them?
12
The sleep of the laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich person does not allow him to sleep.
King James Version
Chapter 5
11
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good
is there
to the owners thereof, saving the beholding
of them
with their eyes?
12
The sleep of a labouring man
is
sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
11
When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes?
12
The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
11
The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth — except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!
12
People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
11
When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
12
Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.
New International Version
Chapter 5
11
As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?
12
The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
11
When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see
them
with their eyes?
12
The sleep of a laboring man
is
sweet,
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.
