Ecclesiastes 5:1-9

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>_.
