Ecclesiastes 5

5 Keep your feet when you go to the house of God. And drawing near to listen is better than fools giving a sacrifice, for they are not knowing that they do evil. 2 Do not be hurried concerning your mouth, and do not let your heart hurry to bring forth a word to the face of God. For the 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 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. That which 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 equity 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 over them. 9 And a profit of a land—it is taken by all. But a king is served by a field.


10 A lover of silver will not be satisfied with silver,

and whoever loves increase, not income.

Also this is vapor.

11 When the good thing increases,

the ones eating it increase.

And what advantage belongs to its master

except the sight of his eyes?

12 Sweet is the sleep of the worker,

however little or however much he eats,

but the satisfaction of a rich person—

it is not allowing 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 in his hand anything. 15 As he went out from the womb of his mother, naked, he will go again, just as he came. And he will not take anything in exchange for his toil that he will take 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 toils for the wind? 17 Also, all his days in darkness he eats, and in great vexation and his sickness and anger.
18 Look, what I, I, have seen is good: That it is beautiful 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 the God has given to him, for it is his portion. 19 Also, each person who the God gives 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 the God occupies him with the joys of his heart.
