Ecclesiastes 5:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ Do not be surprised if you see the poor being oppressed with violence
    or do not see justice and righteousness in the province.
For one official is watched by a higher official,
    and there are even higher officials over them!
⁹ The produce of the land is exploited by everyone;
    even the king profits from the field of the poor!^[a]

¹⁰ Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money,
    and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit.
This also is vanity!
