6For there is evil in a multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear you God.
7If you should see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter: for there is a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them.
8Also the abundance of the earth is for every one: the king is dependent on the tilled field.
9He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.
10In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding it with his eyes?
11The sleep of a servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers him to sleep.
12There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.
