Ecclesiastes 5:8-10

Modern English Version

The Vanity of Loving Money

⁸ If you see in a district the oppression of the poor and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness, do not be astounded at the matter; for the high official is watched over by an even higher official, and there are even higher officials over them. ⁹ But this is an advantage to the land in every way, like a king committed to a cultivated field.
