Ecclesiastes 5:8-10
Common English Bible
Hoarding wealth
8 If you witness the poor being oppressed or the violation of what is just and right in some territory, don’t be surprised because a high official watches over another, and yet others stand over them. 9 But the land’s yield should be for everyone if the field is cultivated.[a] 10 The money lover isn’t satisfied with money; neither is the lover of wealth satisfied with income. This too is pointless.
