mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He [who is] higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ And the advantage of a land, it is for all; [even] a king has a field being tilled.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, and he who loves abundance not with] gain. This [is] also vanity.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When the good thing increases, those who eat it increase; then what profit [is it] to its owners, except to see [it] with their eyes?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ The sleep of a laboring man [is] sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for their owners to their hurt.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish by evil use. And he brings forth a son, and nothing [is] in his hand.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came forth from his mother's womb naked, he shall return to go as he came. And from his labor he may not carry anything that may go in his hand.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all, as he came, so shall he go; and what profit does he have who has labored for the wind?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ Also all his days he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath [with] his sickness.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Behold that which I have seen. [it is] good and right for one to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he labors under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it [is] his portion.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ Also every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this [is] the gift of God.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God answers [him] in the joy of his heart.
