Ecclesiastes 5:11 | |
NASB: When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on? (NASB ©1995) GWT: As the number of goods increase, so do the number of people who consume them. What do owners gain [from all their goods] except [the opportunity] to look at them? (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: 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? ASV: When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? BBE: When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them? DBY: When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what profit is there to the owner thereof, except the beholding of them with his eyes? JPS: When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes? WBS: When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners of them, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? WEB: When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes? YLT: In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the sight of his eyes? | |
