Ecclesiastes 5:1-11

Keep
<08104> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
when thou goest
<03212> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and be more ready
<07138>
to hear
<08085> (8800)_,
than to give
<05414> (8800)
the sacrifice
<02077>
of fools
<03684>_:
for they consider
<03045> (8802)
not that they do
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>_.
Be not rash
<0926> (8762)
with thy mouth
<06310>_,
and let not thine heart
<03820>
be hasty
<04116> (8762)
to utter
<03318> (8687)
[any] thing
<01697>
before
<06440>
God
<0430>_:
for God
<0430>
[is] in heaven
<08064>_,
and thou upon earth
<0776>_:
therefore let thy words
<01697>
be few
<04592>_.
{thing: or, word}
For a dream
<02472>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
through the multitude
<07230>
of business
<06045>_;
and a fool's
<03684>
voice
<06963>
[is known] by multitude
<07230>
of words
<01697>_.
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}
Moreover the profit
<03504>
of the earth
<0776>
is for all: the king
<04428>
[himself] is served
<05647> (8738)
by the field
<07704>_.
He that loveth
<0157> (8802)
silver
<03701>
shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
with silver
<03701>_;
nor he that loveth
<0157> (8802)
abundance
<01995>
with increase
<08393>_:
this [is] also vanity
<01892>_.
When goods
<02896>
increase
<07235> (8800)_,
they are increased
<07231> (8804)
that eat
<0398> (8802)
them: and what good
<03788>
[is there] to the owners
<01167>
thereof, saving
<0518>
the beholding
<07207> (8675) <07212> (8801)
[of them] with their eyes
<05869>_?
