When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
Cuando aumentan los bienes, también aumentan los que los consumen. ¿Qué provecho tiene el dueño de ellos, sino verlos con sus ojos?
Mientras más riqueza tenemos, más gente aparece para gastarla, dejándonos solo con la satisfacción de mirarla.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes from Ecclesiastes, written by Solomon (or someone reflecting on Solomon's wisdom) during Israel's golden age of prosperity. Solomon had witnessed firsthand how great wealth attracts servants, officials, and dependents who consume the resources. In ancient times, wealthy households supported large extended families, servants, and guests, meaning personal wealth often became shared wealth.
