Commentary on Ecclesiastes 5:10

Theological / Devotional

Loveth silver. The life devoted to the acquisition of wealth is rarely satisfied with what is accumulated. Solomon may have in mind the crowds of petty and higher officials in an Oriental government, each eager to feather his own nest.

Increase. No matter how much his possessions increase he counts them insufficient and wishes for more.
