Ecclesiastes 5:8-10; Ecclesiastes 5:9

Ecclesiastes 5:8-10

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.

10 Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 5:9

9 The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
