Ecclesiastes 5:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
The Realities of Wealth
8 If you see oppression of the poor(A) and perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, don’t be astonished at the situation,(B) because one official protects another official, and higher officials protect them. 9 The profit from the land is taken by all; the king is served by the field.[a](C)
10 The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile.
