King James Version
"Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field."
— Ecclesiastes 5:9, King James Version
“Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. ”
“Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.”
“The produce of the land is seized by all of them, even the king is served by the fields.”
“A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity.”
“It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.”
“Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.”
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
