Ecclesiastes 5:6-8

New King James Version

⁶ Do not let your ^(A)mouth cause your flesh to sin, ^(B)nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your ^[a]excuse and destroy the work of your hands? ⁷ For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But ^(C)fear God.

The Vanity of Gain and Honor

⁸ If you ^(D)see the oppression of the poor, and the violent ^[b]perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for ^(E)high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.
