1Keep thy foot, when thou goest unto the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than dullards to offer sacrifice,for they make no acknowledgment of doing wrong. 2Be not rash with thy mouth, and, with thy heart, be not in haste to bring forth a word, before God,for, God, is in the heavens, and, thou, upon the earth, for this cause, let thy words be few. 3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business,and, the voice of a dullard, is with a multitude of words. 4When thou vowest a vow unto God, do not defer to pay it, for there is no pleasure in dullards,what thou vowest, pay! 5Better that thou shouldest not vow,than vow, and not pay. 6Do not let thy mouth cause thy flesh to sin,neither say thou, before the messenger, that it was, a mistake,wherefore should God be indignant at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? 7For amidst a multitude of dreams, and vanities, and many words,but, towards God, be thou reverent. 8If, the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of justice and righteousness, thou see in the province, do not be astonished over the matter,for, one high above the highest, is watching, yea, the Most High, is over them. 9And, the profit of the earth, is, for all,a king, by the field, is served. 10He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver nor, he that loveth abundance, with revenue,-even this, was vanity. 11When blessings are increased, increased are the eaters thereof,what profit, then, to the owner of them saving the sight of his eyes? 12Sweet the sleep of the labourer, whether, little or much, he eat,but, the surfeit of the rich man, will not suffer him to sleep. 13Here was an incurable evil, I had seen under the sun, riches kept by the owner thereof, to his hurt; 14and those riches perish, by being ill employed,and though he begetteth a son, yet is there in his hand nothing at all. 15As he came from his mothers womb, naked, he again departeth, as he came,and, nothing, can he take of his toil, which he can carry in his hand. 16Even this, moreover, is an incurable evil, altogether as he came, so, shall he depart,what profit then shall he have who toileth for the wind? 17Even all his days, 18Lo! what, I myself, have seenBetter that it should be excellent to eat and to drink and to see blessedness, in all ones toil wherein one toileth under the sun, for the number of the days of his life, in that God hath given it him, for, that, is his portion: 19yet, as regardeth every man, to whom God hath given wealth and goods, and granted him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to find gladness in his toil, this, is, the gift of God. 20Though it be not much, let him remember the days of his life,for, God, beareth witness, by the gladness of his heart.
