5 Keep your feet when you go to the house of God. And to draw near to listen is better than fools giving a sacrifice, for they are not knowing that they do evil. 2 Do not be in haste concerning your mouth, and do not let your heart hurry to bring forth a word to the face of God. For God is in heaven, but you are on the earth; therefore, let your words be few. 3 For the dream comes with much business and the voice of a fool comes with many words.
4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it, for there is no delight in the fools. What you vow, fulfill. 5 It is better that you not vow than that you vow but do not fulfill. 6 Do not give your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, and do not say to the face of the messenger that it was an unintentional sin. Why should God be angry concerning your voice and destroy the deed of your hands? 7 For in many dreams and vaporous things and many words—just fear God.
8 If the extortion of the poor and the robbery of justice and righteousness you see in the province, do not be amazed concerning the matter, for a high one over a high one is watching, and high ones are watching over them. 9 And a profit of a land in everything, it is a king for a worked field.
10 A person who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver and whoever loves increase will not be satisfied with income. Also this is vapor. 11 When the good thing increases, the people eating it increase. And what advantage belongs to its master except the sight of his eyes? 12 Sweet is the sleep of the worker, whether a little or whether much he will eat, but the satisfaction of a rich person—it is not permitting for him to sleep.
13 There is a sickening misfortune I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its master to his harm. 14 And that wealth perished in an unfortunate business, and he had fathered a son, but there was not anything in his hand. 15 As he went out from the womb of his mother, naked he will go again, as he came. And he will not take anything in exchange for his toil that he will bring in his hand.
16 And also this is a sickening misfortune: just as he came, thus he will go, and what profit belongs to him who will toil for the wind? 17 Also, all his days in darkness he will eat, and in great vexation and his sickness and anger.
18 Look, what I myself have seen is good: that it is fitting to eat and to drink and to see good in all his toil that he will toil under the sun during the number of the days of his life that God has given to him, for it is his portion. 19 Also, each person who God has given to him wealth and possessions and has empowered him to eat from it and to accept his portion and to rejoice in his toiling—this, it is a gift of God. 20 For not much does he remember the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joys of his heart.
