Ecclesiastes 5:7-13

⁷For, in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; but fear thou God.

⁸If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones are over them.

⁹And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.

¹⁰Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied with silver, nor he who is in love with stores with increase. Even this is vanity.

¹¹In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit is to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?

¹²Sweet is the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep.

¹³There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.
