< 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, whensoever thou goest to the house of God; and [when thou art] near to hear, let thy sacrifice [be] better than the gift of fools: for they know not that they are doing 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 hasty with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, 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 through the multitude of trial a dream comes; and a fool's voice is 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.
Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for [he has] no pleasure in fools: pay thou therefore whatsoever thou shalt have vowed.
5 [is] good That not you will vow (more than what you will vow *L(abh)*) and not you will pay.
[It is] better 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 lead thy flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error: lest God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the works of thy hands.
7 For in abundance of dreams and futilities and words many for God fear.
For [there is evil] in a multitude of dreams and vanities and 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 shouldest see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter: for [there is] a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them.
9 And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
Also the abundance of the earth is for every one: the king [is dependent on] the tilled 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 loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also 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.
In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding [it] 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 servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers 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 an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, [namely], wealth kept for its owner 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 that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and [the man] begets a son, and 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 naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labour, that it should go [with him] 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 is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labours?
17 Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, 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, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing [for a man] to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labour in which he may labour under the sun, [all] the number of the days of his life which God has given to him: for it 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.
Yea, and [as for] every man to whom God has given wealth and possessions, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to receive his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; 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; for God troubles him in the mirth of his heart.
