Ecclesiastes 5:7-11

⁷Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

⁸If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.

⁹It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.

¹⁰He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

¹¹When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?
