Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 Keep your foot when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few.
3 For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
4 When you vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for [he has] no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.
5 Better [is it] that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
6 Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that it [was] an error: why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear you God.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regards; and [there be] higher than they.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
10 He that loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners of it, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners of it to their hurt.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begets a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked will he return to go as he came, and will take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so will he go: and what profit has he that has laboured for the wind?
17 All his days also he eats in darkness, and [he has] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it [is] his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.

20 For he will not much remember the days of his life; because God answers [him] in the joy of his heart.
