< Ecclesiastes 5 >
1 Guard (foot your *Q(K)*) when you will go to [the] house of God and draw near to listen more than giving the fools a sacrifice for not they [are] knowing to do evil.
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.
2 May not you be hasty on mouth your and heart your may not it hasten to bring forth a matter before God for God [is] in the heavens and you [are] on the earth there-fore let them be words your few.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3 For it comes the dream with abundance of business and [the] voice a fool with a multitude of words.
For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words.
4 When you will vow a vow to God may not you delay to pay it for there not [is] pleasure in fools [that] which you will vow pay.
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.
5 [is] good That not you will vow (more than what you will vow *L(abh)*) and not you will pay.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6 May not you permit mouth your to cause to sin flesh your and may not you say before the messenger that [was] inadvertence it why? will he be angry God towards voice your and he will destroy [the] work of hands your.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
7 For in abundance of dreams and futilities and words many for God fear.
For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.
8 If oppression of a poor person and robbery of justice and righteousness you will see in the province do not be astonished on the matter for a high [one] over a high [one] [is] watching and high [ones] over them.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they.
9 And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
10 [one who] loves Silver not he will be satisfied silver and whoever [is] loving wealth not income also this [is] futility.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.
11 When increases the good they increase [those who] consume it and what? profit [belongs] to owner its that except ([the] sight of *Q(K)*) eyes his.
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding [of them] with his eyes?
12 [is] sweet [the] sleep of The laborer whether a little and or [surely] much he will eat and the plenty of the rich [person] not it [is] permitting him to sleep.
The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13 There [is] an evil severe [which] I have seen under the sun wealth [was] being kept by owner its to harm his.
There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:
14 And it was lost the wealth that in a business of evil and he fathered a son and not [was] in hand his anything.
and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 Just as he came out from [the] womb of mother his naked he will return to go when he came and anything not he will carry in toil his that he may take in hand his.
As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 And also this [is] an evil severe like exactly as [that] which came so he will go and what? [is the] profit [belongs] to him that he will toil for the wind.
And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboreth for the wind?
17 Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed, and hath sickness and wrath.
18 Here! [that] which I have seen I [to be] good [that] which [is] beautiful [is] to eat and to drink and to see good in all toil his - that someone will toil under the sun [the] number of [the] days of (life his *Q(k)*) which he has given to him God for that [is] portion his.
Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion.
19 Also every person whom he has given to him God wealth and riches and he has given power him to eat from it and to receive portion his and to rejoice in toil his this [is] a gift of God it.
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
20 For not [surely] much he will remember [the] days of life his for God [is] keeping busy with [the] joy of heart his.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
