Ecclesiastes 5:10

"He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity."

One of the great passages on the lack of real satisfaction which every greedy person will eventually face. "The unappeased craving it creates is very obvious in the gambler, the tycoon and the well-paid materialist who never has enough-for the love of money grows by what it feeds on…If anything is worse than the addiction money brings, it is the emptiness it leaves. Man, with eternity in his heart, needs better nourishment than this" (Kidner p. 56). This is one reason why greed will plunge us into destruction (1 Timothy 6:9f). Even though Jesus plainly said that no man can serve two masters (Matt. Ecclesiastes 6:24), many people seem bent on trying to prove Him wrong.
