Ecclesiastes 5:9

Powerful Bureaucrats Exploit The Helpless Poor

⁸ If, the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of justice and righteousness, thou see in the province, do not be astonished over the matter, - for, one high above the highest, is watching, yea, the Most High, is over them. ⁹ And, the profit of the earth, is, for all, - a king, by the field, is served. ¹⁰ He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver nor, he that loveth abundance, with revenue, - -even this, was vanity.
