Some things rulers do are terribly unfair:
It isn't right for a fool to live in luxury or for a slave to rule in place of a king.
When an honest person wins, it's time to celebrate; when crooks are in control, it's best to hide.
Don't give up your job when your boss gets angry. If you stay calm, you'll be forgiven.
They honor fools, but dishonor the rich;
Everywhere on earth I saw violence and injustice instead of fairness and justice.
I looked again and saw people being mistreated everywhere on earth. They were crying, but no one was there to offer comfort, and those who mistreated them were powerful.
Once again I saw that nothing on earth makes sense.
I have seen something terribly unfair. People get rich, but it does them no good.
There is something else terribly unfair, and it troubles everyone on earth.
It's terribly unfair for the same thing to happen to each of us. We are mean and foolish while we live, and then we die.
