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
Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon, known for his immense wealth and wisdom, as he reflected on the futility of earthly pursuits in ancient Israel. In that culture, wealth was often seen as a divine blessing, but the book challenges this by exploring how material abundance fails to bring true fulfillment. This verse specifically addresses the irony of growing riches, which only increase the number of people consuming them while leaving the owner with mere visual enjoyment.
