Ecclesiastes 5:1 Keep8104 thy foot7272 when thou goest3212 to the house1004 of God,430 and be more ready7138 to hear,8085 than to give5414 the sacrifice2077 of fools:3684 for they consider3045 not that they do6213 evil.7451 cr 2 Be not rash926 with thy mouth,6310 and let not thine heart3820 be hasty4116 to utter3318 any thing1697{Or, word} before6440 God:430 for God430 is in heaven,8064 and thou upon earth:776 therefore let thy words1697 be few.4592 cr 3 For a dream2472 cometh935 through the multitude7230 of business;6045 and a fool's3684 voice6963 is known by multitude7230 of words.1697 cr 4 When thou vowest5087 a vow5088 unto God,430 defer309 not to pay7999 it; for he hath no pleasure2656 in fools:3684 pay7999 that which thou hast vowed.5087 cr 5 Better2896 is it that thou shouldest not vow,5087 than that thou shouldest vow5087 and not pay.7999 cr 6 Suffer5414 not thy mouth6310 to cause thy flesh1320 to sin;2398 neither say559 thou before6440 the angel,4397 that it was an error:7684 wherefore should God430 be angry7107 at thy voice,6963 and destroy2254 the work4639 of thine hands?3027 cr 7 For in the multitude7230 of dreams2472 and many7235 words1697 there are also divers vanities:1892 but fear3372 thou God.430 cr

Ecclesiastes 5:8 If thou seest7200 the oppression6233 of the poor,7326 and violent1499 perverting of judgment4941 and justice6664 in a province,4082 marvel8539 not at the matter:2656{Heb. at the will or purpose} for he that is higher1364 than the highest1364 regardeth;8104 and there be higher1364 than they.5921 cr

Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loveth157 silver3701 shall not be satisfied7646 with silver;3701 nor he that loveth157 abundance1995 with increase:8393 this is also vanity.1892 cr 11 When goods2896 increase,7235 they are increased7231 that eat398 them: and what good3788 is there to the owners1167 thereof, saving518 the beholding7207 7212 of them with their eyes?5869 cr 12 The sleep8142 of a labouring man5647 is sweet,4966 whether he eat398 little4592 or much:7235 but the abundance7647 of the rich6223 will not suffer3240 him to sleep.3462 cr
