Ecclesiastes 5:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For in the multitude of dreams, and vanities are also many words: but fear thou God.
7 If in a country thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the defrauding of judgment and justice, be not astonied at the matter: for he that is [a]higher than the highest, regardeth, and there be higher than they.
8 And the [b]abundance of the earth is over all: the king [c]also consisteth by the field that is tilled.
