Ecclesiastes 5:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Remember:
When dreams multiply,
so do pointless thoughts and excessive speech.
Therefore, fear God.

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]
