Ecclesiastes 5:6-10


[6] Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
[7] For when dreams increase, empty words grow many: but do you fear God.

[8] If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them. 
[9] But in all, a king is an advantage to a land with cultivated fields.
[10] He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.
