7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But afear God.
The Vanity of Gain and Honor
8 If you asee the oppression of the poor, and the violent1 perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for bhigh official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.
9 Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.
10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
11 When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?
