Ecclesiastes 5:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Not be satisfied with silver Not only will God punish at last, but meanwhile, "not be satisfied with silver" - the oppressive gainers of "silver" find no solid 'satisfaction' in it.

Nor he that loveth abundance (Hamon-literally, multitude, bustle; implying the turmoil which is inseparable from wealth) "with increase" - is not satisfied with the gain that he makes.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
