Ecclesiastes 5:7-8
New International Version
7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.(A)
Riches Are Meaningless
8 If you see the poor oppressed(B) 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.

New American Standard Bible
7 For in many dreams and in many words there is futility. Rather, [a](A)fear God.
8 If you see (B)oppression of the poor and (C)denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be (D)shocked at the [b]sight; for one [c]official watches over another [d]official, and there are higher [e]officials over them.

7 Donde los sueños son en multitud, también lo son las vanidades y muchas las palabras; mas tú teme á Dios.
8 Si violencias de pobres, y extorsión de derecho y de justicia vieres en la porvincia, no te maravilles de esta licencia; porque alto está mirando sobre alto, y uno más alto está sobre ellos.
