H8104
Keep
[H8798]
H7272
thy foot
H3212
when thou goest
[H8799]
H1004
to the house
H430
of God
H7138
, and be more ready
H8085
to hear
[H8800]
H5414
, than to give
[H8800]
H2077
the sacrifice
H3684
of fools
H3045
: for they consider
[H8802]
H6213
not that they do
[H8800]
H7451
evil.
2
H926
Be not rash
[H8762]
H6310
with thy mouth
H3820
, and let not thine heart
H4116
be hasty
[H8762]
H3318
to utter
[H8687]
H1697
any thing
H6440
before
H430
God
H430
: for God
H8064
is in heaven
H776
, and thou upon earth
H1697
: therefore let thy words
H4592
be few.
3
H2472
For a dream
H935
cometh
[H8802]
H7230
through the multitude
H6045
of business
H3684
; and a fool's
H6963
voice
H7230
is known by multitude
H1697
of words.
4
H5087
When thou vowest
[H8799]
H5088
a vow
H430
unto God
H309
, defer
[H8762]
H7999
not to pay
[H8763]
H2656
it; for he hath no pleasure
H3684
in fools
H7999
: pay
[H8761]
H5087
that which thou hast vowed
[H8799]
.
5
H2896
Better
H5087
is it that thou shouldest not vow
[H8799]
H5087
, than that thou shouldest vow
[H8799]
H7999
and not pay
[H8762]
.
6
H5414
Suffer
[H8799]
H6310
not thy mouth
H1320
to cause thy flesh
H2398
to sin
[H8687]
H559
; neither say
[H8799]
H6440
thou before
H4397
the angel
H7684
, that it was an error
H430
: wherefore should God
H7107
be angry
[H8799]
H6963
at thy voice
H2254
, and destroy
[H8765]
H4639
the work
H3027
of thine hands?
7
H7230
For in the multitude
H2472
of dreams
H7235
and many
[H8687]
H1697
words
H1892
there are also divers vanities
H3372
: but fear
[H8798]
H430
thou God.
8
H7200
If thou seest
[H8799]
H6233
the oppression
H7326
of the poor
[H8802]
H1499
, and violent
H4941
perverting of judgment
H6664
and justice
H4082
in a province
H8539
, marvel
[H8799]
H2656
not at the matter
H1364
: for he that is higher
H1364
than the highest
H8104
regardeth
[H8802]
H1364
; and there be higher
H5921
than they.
9
H3504
Moreover the profit
H776
of the earth
H4428
is for all: the king
H5647
himself is served
[H8738]
H7704
by the field.
10
H157
He that loveth
[H8802]
H3701
silver
H7646
shall not be satisfied
[H8799]
H3701
with silver
H157
; nor he that loveth
[H8802]
H1995
abundance
H8393
with increase
H1892
: this is also vanity.
11
H2896
When goods
H7235
increase
[H8800]
H7231
, they are increased
[H8804]
H398
that eat
[H8802]
H3788
them: and what good
H1167
is there to the owners
H518
thereof, saving
H7207
the beholding
[H8675]
H7212
[H8801]
H5869
of them with their eyes?
12
H8142
The sleep
H5647
of a labouring man
[H8802]
H4966
is sweet
H398
, whether he eat
[H8799]
H4592
little
H7235
or much
[H8687]
H7647
: but the abundance
H6223
of the rich
H3240
will not suffer
[H8688]
H3462
him to sleep
[H8800]
.
13
H3426
There is
H2470
a sore
[H8802]
H7451
evil
H7200
which I have seen
[H8804]
H8121
under the sun
H6239
, namely, riches
H8104
kept
[H8803]
H1167
for the owners
H7451
thereof to their hurt.
14
H6239
But those riches
H6
perish
[H8804]
H7451
by evil
H6045
travail
H3205
: and he begetteth
[H8689]
H1121
a son
H3972
, and there is nothing
H3027
in his hand.
15
H3318
As he came forth
[H8804]
H517
of his mother's
H990
womb
H6174
, naked
H7725
shall he return
[H8799]
H3212
to go
[H8800]
H935
as he came
[H8804]
H5375
, and shall take
[H8799]
H3972
nothing
H5999
of his labour
H3212
, which he may carry away
[H8686]
H3027
in his hand.
16
H2090
And this
H2470
also is a sore
[H8802]
H7451
evil
H5980
, that in all points
H935
as he came
[H8804]
H3212
, so shall he go
[H8799]
H3504
: and what profit
H5998
hath he that hath laboured
[H8799]
H7307
for the wind?
17
H3117
All his days
H398
also he eateth
[H8799]
H2822
in darkness
H7235
, and he hath much
[H8687]
H3707
sorrow
[H8804]
H7110
and wrath
H2483
with his sickness.
18
H7200
Behold that which I have seen
[H8804]
H2896
: it is good
H3303
and comely
H398
for one to eat
[H8800]
H8354
and to drink
[H8800]
H7200
, and to enjoy
[H8800]
H2896
the good
H5999
of all his labour
H5998
that he taketh
[H8799]
H8121
under the sun
H4557
all
H3117
the days
H2416
of his life
H430
, which God
H5414
giveth
[H8804]
H2506
him: for it is his portion.
19
H120
Every man
H430
also to whom God
H5414
hath given
[H8804]
H6239
riches
H5233
and wealth
H7980
, and hath given him power
[H8689]
H398
to eat
[H8800]
H5375
thereof, and to take
[H8800]
H2506
his portion
H8055
, and to rejoice
[H8800]
H5999
in his labour
H2090
; this
H4991
is the gift
H430
of God.
