What observation does Solomon make here in this verse?
In light of this verse, finish the statement, "The more you have, the more ____________________."

What is the terrible thing that he observes to happen in 5:13?
4. How does he support his argument made in 5:13 (see 5:13-15)?
Have you heard of such a situation?
5. What is the second terrible thing he observes (5:16)?
6. Do you think it is worth working hard and storing up if you have the opportunity?
What is the risk?
What is the advantage?
What is another option?
