Ecc 5:11-16, 6:7, Isa 55:2, Hab 2:13, Mat 6:19, 31-33, Joh 4:13-14 | ESV | STEP | When goods increase , they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes ?

Ecclesiastes 5:11-16

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.

13 ^aThere is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, 14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand. 15 ^bAs he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. 16 This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what ^cgain is there to him who ^dtoils for the wind?

Ecclesiastes 6:7

7 ^eAll the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. ^{▼▼Hebrew filled}

Isaiah 55:2

2 ^gWhy do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.

Habakkuk 2:13

13 Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts
that ^hpeoples labor merely for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nothing?

John 4:13-14

13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but ^rwhoever drinks of the water that I will give him ^swill never be thirsty again. ^{▼▼Greek forever} The water that I will give him will become ^uin him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
