1 # Keep <08104> (8798) thy foot <07272> when thou goest <03212> (8799) to the house <01004> of God <0430>, and be more ready <07138> to hear <08085> (8800), than to give <05414> (8800) the sacrifice <02077> of fools <03684>: for they consider <03045> (8802) not that they do <06213> (8800) evil <07451>.
2 Be not rash <0926> (8762) with thy mouth <06310>, and let not thine heart <03820> be hasty <04116> (8762) to utter <03318> (8687) any thing <01697> before <06440> God <0430>: for God <0430> is in heaven <08064>, and thou upon earth <0776>: therefore let thy words <01697> be few <04592>.
3 For a dream <02472> cometh <0935> (8802) through the multitude <07230> of business <06045>; and a fool's <03684> voice <06963> is known by multitude <07230> of words <01697>.
4 # When thou vowest <05087> (8799) a vow <05088> unto God <0430>, defer <0309> (8762) not to pay <07999> (8763) it; for he hath no pleasure <02656> in fools <03684>: pay <07999> (8761) that which thou hast vowed <05087> (8799).
5 Better <02896> is it that thou shouldest not vow <05087> (8799), than that thou shouldest vow <05087> (8799) and not pay <07999> (8762).
6 Suffer <05414> (8799) not thy mouth <06310> to cause thy flesh <01320> to sin <02398> (8687); neither say <0559> (8799) thou before <06440> the angel <04397>, that it was an error <07684>: wherefore should God <0430> be angry <07107> (8799) at thy voice <06963>, and destroy <02254> (8765) the work <04639> of thine hands <03027> ?
 - ANGELS
7 For in the multitude <07230> of dreams <02472> and many <07235> (8687) words <01697> there are also divers vanities <01892>: but fear <03372> (8798) thou God <0430>.
8 If thou seest <07200> (8799) the oppression <06233> of the poor <07326> (8802), and violent <01499> perverting of judgment <04941> and justice <06664> in a province <04082>, marvel <08539> (8799) not at the matter <02656>: for he that is higher <01364> than the highest <01364> regardeth <08104> (8802); and there be higher <01364> than they <05921>.
9 # Moreover the profit <03504> of the earth <0776> is for all: the king <04428> himself is served <05647> (8738) by the field <07704>.
10 He that loveth <0157> (8802) silver <03701> shall not be satisfied <07646> (8799) with silver <03701> ; nor he that loveth <0157> (8802) abundance <01995> with increase <08393>: this is also vanity <01892>.
11 When goods <02896> increase <07235> (8800), they are increased <07231> (8804) that eat <0398> (8802) them: and what good <03788> is there to the owners <01167> thereof, saving <0518> the beholding <07207> (8675) <07212> (8801) of them with their eyes <05869>?
12 The sleep <08142> of a labouring man <05647> (8802) is sweet <04966>, whether he eat <0398> (8799) little <04592> or much <07235> (8687): but the abundance <07647> of the rich <06223> will not suffer <03240> (8688) him to sleep <03462> (8800).
13 There is <03426> a sore <02470> (8802) evil <07451> which I have seen <07200> (8804) under the sun <08121>, namely, riches <06239> kept <08104> (8803) for the owners <01167> thereof to their hurt <07451>.
14 But those riches <06239> perish <06> (8804) by evil <07451> travail <06045>: and he begetteth <03205> (8689) a son <01121>, and there is nothing <03972> in his hand <03027>.
15 As he came forth <03318> (8804) of his mother's <0517> womb <0990>, naked <06174> shall he return <07725> (8799) to go <03212> (8800) as he came <0935> (8804), and shall take <05375> (8799) nothing <03972> of his labour <05999>, which he may carry away <03212> (8686) in his hand <03027>.
16 And this <02090> also is a sore <02470> (8802) evil <07451>, that in all points <05980> as he came <0935> (8804), so shall he go <03212> (8799): and what profit <03504> hath he that hath laboured <05998> (8799) for the wind <07307>?
17 All his days <03117> also he eateth <0398> (8799) in darkness <02822>, and he hath much <07235> (8687) sorrow <03707> (8804) and wrath <07110> with his sickness <02483>.
18 # Behold that which I have seen <07200> (8804): it is good <02896> and comely <03303> for one to eat <0398> (8800) and to drink <08354> (8800), and to enjoy <07200> (8800) the good <02896> of all his labour <05999> that he taketh <05998> (8799) under the sun <08121> all <04557> the days <03117> of his life <02416>, which God <0430> giveth <05414> (8804) him: for it is his portion <02506>.
19 Every man <0120> also to whom God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) riches <06239> and wealth <05233> , and hath given him power <07980> (8689) to eat <0398> (8800) thereof, and to take <05375> (8800) his portion <02506> , and to rejoice <08055> (8800) in his labour <05999>; this <02090> is the gift <04991> of God <0430>.
 - DAILY ENTREPRENEUR
20 For he shall not much <07235> (8687) remember <02142> (8799) the days <03117> of his life <02416> ; because God <0430> answereth <06031> (8688) him in the joy <08057> of his heart <03820>.
