In Ecclesiastes 5:10, רְא֥וּת is a common feminine singular construct noun in a saying about desires that do not satisfy. The APB renders the verse, “A lover of silver will not be satisfied with silver, and whoever loves a crowd will not produce; this also is vanity,” but its loose wording does not isolate this noun’s specific English equivalent.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ecclesiastes 5:10, the APB presents the surrounding saying in terms of silver, a crowd, and vanity; Its specific rendering of רְא֥וּת is unclear.
