Ecclesiastes 5
a
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.
2 Be
not
a
rash
with
thy
mouth,
and
let
not
thine
heart
be
b
hasty
to
c
utter
any
thing
before
God:
for
God
is
in
heaven,
and
thou
upon
earth:
therefore
let
thy
d
words
be
few.
3 For
a
dream
cometh
through
the
multitude
of
business;
and
a
fool's
voice
is
known
by
multitude
of
words.
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
a
vowed.
5 Better
is
it
that
thou
shouldest
not
vow,
than
that
thou
shouldest
a
vow
and
not
pay.
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?
7 For
in
the
multitude
of
dreams
and
many
words
there
are
also
divers
a
vanities:
but
b
fear
thou
God.
8 If
thou
seest
the
a
oppression
of
the
poor,
and
violent
perverting
of
b
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.
9 Moreover
the
profit
of
the
earth
is
for
all:
the
king
himself
is
served
by
the
field.
10 He
that
loveth
a
silver
shall
not
be
satisfied
with
silver;
nor
he
that
loveth
abundance
with
increase:
this
is
also
b
vanity.
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?
12 The
a
sleep
of
a
b
labouring
man
is
sweet,
whether
he
eat
little
or
much:
but
the
abundance
of
the
rich
will
not
suffer
him
to
sleep.
13 There
is
a
a
sore
evil
which
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
namely,
riches
kept
for
the
owners
thereof
to
their
hurt.
14 But
those
riches
perish
by
evil
travail:
and
he
begetteth
a
son,
and
there
is
nothing
in
his
hand.
15 As
he
came
forth
of
his
mother's
womb,
a
naked
shall
he
return
to
go
as
he
came,
and
shall
take
nothing
of
his
labour,
which
he
may
carry
away
in
his
hand.
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?
17 All
his
days
also
he
eateth
in
darkness,
and
he
hath
much
sorrow
and
wrath
with
his
sickness.
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
a
labour
that
he
taketh
under
the
sun
all
the
days
of
his
life,
which
God
giveth
him:
for
it
is
his
b
portion.
19 Every
man
also
to
whom
God
hath
given
a
riches
and
wealth,
and
hath
given
him
power
to
eat
thereof,
and
to
take
his
portion,
and
to
rejoice
in
his
b
labour;
this
is
the
c
gift
of
God.
20 For
he
shall
not
much
remember
the
days
of
his
life;
because
God
answereth
him
in
the
joy
of
his
heart.
