Ecclesiastes 5:8 says, 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.  Solomon was saying that we should not marvel at the oppression of the poor and the perverting of justice.  We don't have to look far today to see this going on.  We see it even in poor countries, where even the poorest are exploited, and in rich countries, where the poorest are either ignored or exploited.  We see justice, as it is called, for the rich being entirely different than justice for the poor.  God is not fooled by this type of oppression and justice.  One day, true justice, the justice of God, will prevail.  Now, I guess this would be more my opinion or understanding of this warning, but I believe Solomon was warning us to care more for the poor and oppressed than the rich and famous.  We often spend more time being concerned with the lives of those who are famous simply because they are rich than we do for the child who is starving.  We say the rich deserve what they have and the poor just need to work harder.  Yet, God says that it is the responsibility of His people to protect the poor and defenseless.  As long as we see material blessings simply for our benefit and enjoyment, with no concern for the less fortunate, then we are not following God's will for us.  Verse nine says, Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.  I believe Solomon, who had amassed so much wealth, was now realizing that wealth was to be shared by all and not hoarded by a few, even kings . We can spend all our time trying to accumulate and keep everything for ourselves, but this is not what God intended.  Verse ten is a further warning, stating, He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.  Those that love riches will never be satisfied, and may even begin to believe they deserve them, but this will eventually amount to nothing.  Again, it is what we do for God that really counts.
