ECC-5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and
be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for
they consider not that they do evil.
ECC-5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be
hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven,
and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
ECC-5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business;
and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
ECC-5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it;
for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast
vowed.
ECC-5:5 Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that
thou shouldest vow and not pay.
ECC-5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither
say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore
should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine
hands?
ECC-5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there
are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
ECC-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.
ECC-5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king
[himself] is served by the field.
ECC-5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with
silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is]
also vanity.
ECC-5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them:
and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the
beholding [of them] with their eyes?
ECC-5:12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat
little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer
him to sleep.
ECC-5:13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun,
[namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
ECC-5:14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he
begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
ECC-5:15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he
return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour,
which he may carry away in his hand.
ECC-5:16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as
he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath
laboured for the wind?
ECC-5:17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath]
much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
ECC-5:18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and
comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of
all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his
life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion.
ECC-5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth,
and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his
portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
ECC-5:20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life;
because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
