Ecclesiastes 5:8


← Ecclesiastes 5:7 Ecclesiastes 5:8 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:9 →
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
