Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-14
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when they have children there is nothing left for them to inherit.
