"After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land."
— Ecclesiastes 5:9, NASB
“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 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.”
Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God.
If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.
After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land.
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.
When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?
The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.
