< Ecclesiastes 5 >

1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

2 Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.

4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow.
like/as as which to vow vow to/for God not to delay to/for to complete him for nothing pleasure in/on/with fool [obj] which to vow to complete
5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
pleasant which not to vow (from which/that to vow *L(abh)*) and not to complete
6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
not to give: allow [obj] lip your to/for to sin [obj] flesh your and not to say to/for face: before [the] messenger for unintentionally he/she/it to/for what? be angry [the] God upon voice your and to destroy [obj] deed: work hand your
7 For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
for in/on/with abundance dream and vanity and word to multiply for [obj] [the] God to fear: revere
8 If you see the oppression of the poor and the denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be astonished at the matter; for one official is watched by a superior, and others higher still are over them.
if oppression be poor and robbery justice and righteousness to see: see in/on/with province not to astounded upon [the] pleasure for high from upon high to keep: look at and high upon them
9 The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
and advantage land: country/planet in/on/with all (he/she/it *Q(K)*) king to/for land: country to serve: labour
10 He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.
to love: lover silver: money not to satisfy silver: money and who? to love: lover in/on/with crowd not produce also this vanity
11 When good things increase, so do those who consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them with his eyes?
in/on/with to multiply [the] welfare to multiply to eat her and what? skill to/for master her that if: except if: except (sight *Q(K)*) eye his
12 The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich man permits him no sleep.
sweet sleep [the] to serve: labour if little and if to multiply to eat and [the] abundance to/for rich nothing he to rest to/for him to/for to sleep
13 There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,
there distress: evil be weak: grieved to see: see underneath: under [the] sun riches to keep: guard to/for master his to/for distress: harm his
14 or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on.
and to perish [the] riches [the] he/she/it in/on/with task bad: harmful and to beget son: child and nothing in/on/with hand his anything
15 As a man came from his mother’s womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labor to carry in his hands.
like/as as which to come out: come from belly: womb mother his naked to return: again to/for to go: went like/as which/that to come (in): come and anything not to lift: raise in/on/with trouble his which/that to go: take in/on/with hand his

17 Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

18 Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him—for this is his lot.
behold which to see: see I pleasant which beautiful to/for to eat and to/for to drink and to/for to see: enjoy welfare in/on/with all trouble his which/that to toil underneath: under [the] sun number day (life his *Q(k)*) which to give: give to/for him [the] God for he/she/it portion his
19 Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
