5:3 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.4
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּ֛י בָּ֥א הַחֲל֖וֹם בְּרֹ֣ב עִנְיָ֑ן וְק֥וֹל כְּסִ֖יל בְּרֹ֥ב דְּבָרִֽים
that/for/because/then/when (Some words not found in UHB: just=as vow (a)_vow to,God not delay to,pay,it that/for/because/then/when not pleasure in,fools DOM which/who vow fulfill )
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [For a fool is known by his much activity and his many words]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְק֥וֹל כְּסִ֖יל בְּרֹ֥ב דְּבָרִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as vow (a)_vow to,God not delay to,pay,it that/for/because/then/when not pleasure in,fools DOM which/who vow fulfill )
Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and a fool’s voice comes with many words]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְק֥וֹל כְּסִ֖יל
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as vow (a)_vow to,God not delay to,pay,it that/for/because/then/when not pleasure in,fools DOM which/who vow fulfill )
Here, the voice of a fool represents “what a fool says.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the words of a fool come]
OET (OET-LV) [fn] just_as you_will_vow a_vow to_god do_not delay to_pay_it if/because there_is_not pleasure in_fools DOM that_which you_will_vow pay.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
