EC-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.
EC-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.
EC-5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business;
and a fool's
voice [is known] by multitude of words.
EC-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.
EC-5:5 Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that
thou shouldest
vow and not pay.
EC-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?
EC-5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there
are] also
[divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
EC-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.
EC-5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king
[himself] is
served by the field.
EC-5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with
silver; nor he that
loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
EC-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?
EC-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.
EC-5:13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun,
[namely],
riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
EC-5:14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he
begetteth a son, and
[there is] nothing in his hand.
EC-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.
EC-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?
EC-5:17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath]
much sorrow
and wrath with his sickness.
EC-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.
EC-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.
EC-5:20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life;
because God
answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
