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.
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.

For a dream
cometh
through the multitude
of business;
and a fool's
voice
is known by multitude
of words.
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.
Better
is it that thou shouldest not vow,
than that thou shouldest vow
and not pay.
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?
miss out
ἐξαμαρτῆσαι

For in the multitude
of dreams
and many
words
there are also divers vanities:
but fear
thou God.
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.
false accusation

Moreover the profit
of the earth
is for all: the king
himself is served
by the field.
He that loveth
silver
shall not be satisfied
with silver;
nor he that loveth
abundance
with increase:
this is also vanity.
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?
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.
There is
a sore
evil
which I have seen
under the sun,
namely, riches
kept
for the owners
thereof to their hurt.
But those riches
perish
by evil
travail:
and he begetteth
a son,
and there is nothing
in his hand.
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.
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?

All his days
also he eateth
in darkness,
and he hath much
sorrow
and wrath
with his sickness.
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.
weary with toil

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.
For he shall not much
remember
the days
of his life;
because God
answereth
him in the joy
of his heart.
