Ecclesiastes, Chapter 5

1 a Ch 4:17 in HebGuard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil. 2 b Ch 5:1 in HebDo not be hastyc Lit with your mouthin word ord Lit hurry your heartimpulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. 3 For the dream comes through muche Lit taskeffort and the voice of a fool through many words.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow! 5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. 6 Do not let yourf Lit mouthspeech causeg Lit your bodyyou to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For in many dreams and in many words there ish Lit vanityemptiness. Rather,i Or reverefear God.
8 If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at thej Lit delightsight; for onek Lit high oneofficial watches over anotherl Lit high oneofficial, and there are higherm Lit onesofficials over them. 9 After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land.
10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too isn Or futilityvanity. 11 When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except too Lit see with their eyeslook on? 12 The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but thep Lit satietyfull stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches beingq Lit guardedhoarded by their owner to his hurt. 14 When those riches were lost throughr Lit an evil taska bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothings Lit in his handto support him. 15 As he had come naked from his mother’s womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand. 16 This also is a grievous evil—exactly as a mant Lit comesis born, thus will heu Lit godie. So what is the advantage to him who toils for the wind? 17 Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.
18 Here is what I have seen to be good andv Lit beautifulfitting: to eat, to drink andw Lit see goodenjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the fewx Or daysyears of his life which God has given him; for this is hisy Or sharereward. 19 Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive hisz Or sharereward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. 20 For he will not oftenaa Lit rememberconsider theab Or daysyears of his life, because God keepsac So with Grhim occupied with the gladness of his heart.
