Ecclesiastes 5:4-8

When thou vowest
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto God
<0430>_,

defer
<0309> (8762)

not to pay
<07999> (8763)

it; for [he hath] no pleasure
<02656>

in fools
<03684>_:

pay
<07999> (8761)

that which thou hast vowed
<05087> (8799)_.

Better
<02896>

[is it] that thou shouldest not vow
<05087> (8799)_,

than that thou shouldest vow
<05087> (8799)

and not pay
<07999> (8762)_.

Suffer
<05414> (8799)

not thy mouth
<06310>

to cause thy flesh
<01320>

to sin
<02398> (8687)_;

neither say
<0559> (8799)

thou before
<06440>

the angel
<04397>_,

that it [was] an error
<07684>_:

wherefore should God
<0430>

be angry
<07107> (8799)

at thy voice
<06963>_,

and destroy
<02254> (8765)

the work
<04639>

of thine hands
<03027>_?

For in the multitude
<07230>

of dreams
<02472>

and many
<07235> (8687)

words
<01697>

[there are] also [divers] vanities
<01892>_:

but fear
<03372> (8798)

thou God
<0430>_.

If thou seest
<07200> (8799)

the oppression
<06233>

of the poor
<07326> (8802)_,

and violent
<01499>

perverting of judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06664>

in a province
<04082>_,

marvel
<08539> (8799)

not at the matter
<02656>_:

for [he that is] higher
<01364>

than the highest
<01364>

regardeth
<08104> (8802)_;

and [there be] higher
<01364>

than they
<05921>_.

{at the... Heb. at the will, or, purpose}

Malachi 1:12-13

But ye have profaned
<02490> (8764)

it, in that ye say
<0559> (8800)_,

The table
<07979>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] polluted
<01351> (8794)_;

and the fruit
<05108>

thereof, [even] his meat
<0400>_,

[is] contemptible
<0959> (8737)_.

Ye said
<0559> (8804)

also, Behold, what a weariness
<04972>

[is it]! and ye have snuffed
<05301> (8689)

at it, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

and ye brought
<0935> (8689)

[that which was] torn
<01497> (8803)_,

and the lame
<06455>_,

and the sick
<02470> (8802)_;

thus ye brought
<0935> (8689)

an offering
<04503>_:

should I accept
<07521> (8799)

this of your hand
<03027>_?

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{and ye have...: or, whereas ye might have blown it away}
