Ecclesiastes 5:8

← Ecclesiastes 5:7 Ecclesiastes 5:8 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:9 →
For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
