Ecclesiastes 5:11

NCV

NIV

11 The more wealth people have, the more friends they have to help spend it. So what do people really gain? They gain nothing except to look at their riches.
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?
