Ecclesiastes 5:8-9

New American Standard Bible

⁸ If you see ^(A)oppression of the poor and ^(B)denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be ^(C)shocked at the ^[a]sight; for one ^[b]official watches over another ^[c]official, and there are higher ^[d]officials over them. ⁹ After all, a king who cultivates the field is beneficial to the land.
