    In Ecclesiastes 5:10, ראית is a common masculine singular construct noun in a clause concerning a lover of silver and one who loves a crowd. 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 does not clearly isolate the noun in its translation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ecclesiastes 5:10, the APB renderings the whole saying about silver, a crowd, and vanity, without clearly marking a separate English rendering for this noun.
