Ecclesiastes 5:10

This verse means that the love of money can never be filled, because the desire grows faster than any amount you gain. The person who loves silver always wants more silver; the one who loves abundance is never satisfied by increase. The appetite itself expands, so each acquisition only widens the hunger it was meant to fill. The Preacher labels this restless cycle "vanity" -- another fleeting pursuit that promises rest and delivers craving.

The danger he names is not money itself but the love of it, the inner posture that makes wealth the heart's treasure. Such love is a thirst that drinking only deepens. The verses around it add that more goods bring more mouths to feed and more worry to steal sleep, while the laborer with little sleeps sweetly. The way out is not poverty but contentment -- learning to receive what we have as enough and as a gift. When the heart's hunger is turned toward God rather than gain, it finds the satisfaction that no amount of silver could ever supply.
