Ecclesiastes 5:7-9
New International Version - UK
7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
Riches are meaningless
8 If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still. 9 The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
