Ecclesiastes 5:7-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

8. If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they.

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

10. He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

11. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes?
