6 Permit not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also many vanities: but you fear God.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for the high official is watched by a higher one ; and there are yet higher ones over them.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served from the field.
10 He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance, with increase: this is also vanity.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: so what good is there to the owners, except the beholding of them with their eyes?
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.
