KJV - Ecclesiastes 5:8
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.
If you see the rich mistreating the poor and unfair judgments happening in a region, don't be surprised. There are those who are even more powerful than the highest authorities, and they watch over everything.
