Ecclesiastes 5
5:1Guard your foot whenever you should go into the house of God and are near to hear! Let your sacrifice be above the gift of the fools, for they are not knowing to do bad.
5:2Do not hasten with your mouth, and let not your heart hasten to bring forth a word before the presence of God! For God is in the heaven upward, and you are upon the earth; Upon this let your words be few!
5:3For a dream comes through in a multitude of testing; and the voice of a fool in a multitude of words.
5:4As when you vow a vow to God, you should not pass time to render it, for his will is not in foolish vows. You then, as much as you should have vowed, render!
5:5Better for you to not make a vow, than for you to make a vow and not repay.
5:6You should not give your mouth to lead your flesh into sin; and you should not say before the presence of God that, It is in ignorance; lest God should be provoked to anger at your voice, and should utterly destroy the things made by your hands.
5:7For in a multitude of dreams, and follies, and many words, that with God you should fear.
5:8If you should see extortion of the needy and seizure by lawsuit and judicial right in a place, you should not wonder over the thing; for a high one shall guard above a high one, and high ones over them.
5:9And the abundance of the earth is for all; even a king needs the working of a field.
5:10The one loving silver shall not be filled of silver; nor one who loved the offspring in their abundance. And indeed this is folly.
5:11In a multitude of goodness the ones eating of it are multiplied; and what courageous thing is it to the one having it, but the sum of the seeing it with his eyes?
5:12Sleep is sweet for the servant, if he shall eat little or if much. And to the one being filled to be rich there is none allowing him to sleep.
5:13There is a sickness which I beheld under the sun -- riches being kept by him, for his hurt.
5:14And those riches shall be destroyed in an evil distraction; and he engenders a son, and is there not anything in his hand.
5:15As he came forth from the womb of his mother naked, he shall return to go as he comes, and nothing shall he take in his effort, that it should go with him in his hand.
5:16And indeed this is an evil sickness; for as he came, so also he shall go forth. And what is his advantage in which he makes an effort into the wind?
5:17And indeed all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much rage, and sickness, and bitter anger.
5:18Behold, I saw good, which is good to eat and to drink; and to see goodness in all his effort in what ever he should make an effort in under the sun, in the number of days of his life which God gave to him. For it is his portion.
5:19And indeed, every man to whom God gave to him riches and possessions, and gave to him authority to eat from it, and to take his portion, and to be glad in his effort; this is a gift of God.
5:20For he will not much remember the days of his life, for God distracts him in the gladness of his heart.
