 5:1 ¶
Keep thy foot, whensoever thou goest to the house of God; and [when thou art] near to hear, let thy sacrifice [be] better than the gift of fools: for they know not that they are doing evil. |
|
 5:1 ¶
Keepºº
thy footº
whenº
thou goestººº
toº
the houseº
of Elohim,º
and be more readyºº
to hear,ºº
than to giveººº
the sacrificeº
of fools:º
for they considerºº
notº
thatº
they doºº
evil.º |
 5:2
Be not hasty with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. |
 5:2
Be notº
rashºº
withº
thy mouth,º
and let notº
thine heartº
be hastyºº
to utterºº
[any] thingº
beforeº
Elohim:º
forº
Elohimº
[is] in heaven,º
and thouº
uponº
earth:º
thereforeºº
let thy wordsº
beº
few.º |
 5:3
For through the multitude of trial a dream comes; and a fool's voice is with a multitude of words. |
 5:3
Forº
a dreamº
comethºº
through the multitudeº
of business;º
and a fool'sº
voiceº
[is known] by multitudeº
of words.º |
 5:4
Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for [he has] no pleasure in fools: pay thou therefore whatsoever thou shalt have vowed. |
 5:4
Whenº
thou vowestºº
a vowº
unto Elohim,º
deferºº
notº
to payºº
it; forº
[he hath] noº
pleasureº
in fools:º
payººº
that whichº
thou hast vowed.ºº |
 5:5
[It is] better that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. |
 5:5
Betterº
[is it] thatº
thou shouldest notº
vow,ºº
than that thou shouldest vowºººº
and notº
pay.ºº |
 5:6
Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error: lest God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the works of thy hands. |
 5:6
Sufferºº
notºº
thy mouthº
to causeº
thy fleshº
to sin;ºº
neitherº
sayºº
thou beforeº
the angel,º
thatº
itº
[was] an error:º
whereforeº
should Elohimº
be angryºº
atº
thy voice,º
and destroyººº
the workº
of thine hands?º |
 5:7
For [there is evil] in a multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear thou God. |
 5:7
Forº
in the multitudeº
of dreamsº
and manyºº
wordsº
[there are] also [divers] vanities:º
butº
fearºº
thouº
Elohim.º |
 5:8 ¶
If thou shouldest see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter: for [there is] a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them. |
 5:8 ¶
Ifº
thou seestºº
the oppressionº
of the poor,ºº
and violentº
pervertingº
of judgmentº
and justiceº
in a province,º
marvelºº
notº
atº
the matter:º
forº
[he that is] higherº
thanºº
the highestº
regardeth;ºº
and [there be] higherº
thanº
they.º |
 5:9 ¶
Also the abundance of the earth is for every one: the king [is dependent on] the tilled field. |
 5:9 ¶
Moreover the profitº
of the earthº
is for all:º
the kingº
[himself] is servedºº
by the field.º |
 5:10
He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity. |
 5:10
He that lovethºº
silverº
shall notº
be satisfiedºº
with silver;º
nor heº
that lovethºº
abundanceº
with increase:º
thisº
[is] alsoº
vanity.º |
 5:11
In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding [it] with his eyes? |
 5:11
When goodsº
increase,ºº
they are increasedºº
that eatºº
them: and whatº
goodº
[is there] to the ownersº
thereof, savingºº
the beholdingººººº
[of them] with their eyes?º |
 5:12
The sleep of a servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers him to sleep. |
 5:12
The sleepº
of a labouring manºº
[is] sweet,º
whetherº
he eatºº
littleº
orº
much:ºº
but the abundanceº
of the richº
will notº
sufferººº
him to sleep.ºº |
 5:13
There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, [namely], wealth kept for its owner to his hurt. |
 5:13
There isº
a soreºº
evilº
[which] I have seenºº
underº
the sun,º
[namely], richesº
keptºº
for the ownersº
thereof to their hurt.º |
 5:14
And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and [the man] begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand. |
 5:14
But thoseº
richesº
perishºº
by evilº
travail:º
and he begettethºº
a son,º
and [there is] nothingºº
in his hand.º |
 5:15
As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labour, that it should go [with him] in his hand. |
 5:15
Asº
he came forthºº
of his mother'sº
womb,ºº
nakedº
shall he returnºº
to goººº
as he came,ººº
and shall takeºº
nothingºº
of his labour,º
which he may carry awayºººº
in his hand.º |
 5:16
And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labours? |
 5:16
And thisº
alsoº
[is] a soreºº
evil,º
[that] in allº
pointsº
as he came,ººº
soº
shall he go:ººº
and whatº
profitº
hath he that hath labouredººº
for the wind?º |
 5:17
Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath. |
 5:17
Allº
his daysº
alsoº
he eatethºº
in darkness,º
and [he hath] muchºº
sorrowºº
and wrathº
with his sickness.º |
 5:18 ¶
Behold, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing [for a man] to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labour in which he may labour under the sun, [all] the number of the days of his life which God has given to him: for it is his portion. |
 5:18 ¶
Beholdº
[that] whichº
Iº
have seen:ºº
[it is] goodº
and comelyº
[for one] to eatºº
and to drink,ºº
and to enjoyºº
the goodº
of allº
his labourº
that he takethººº
underº
the sunº
allº
the daysº
of his life,º
whichº
Elohimº
givethºº
him: forº
itº
[is] his portion.º |
 5:19
Yea, and [as for] every man to whom God has given wealth and possessions, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to receive his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. |
 5:19
Everyº
manº
alsoº
to whomº
Elohimº
hath givenºº
richesº
and wealth,º
and hath given him powerºº
to eatºº
thereof,º
and to takeººº
his portion,º
and to rejoiceºº
in his labour;º
thisº
[is] the giftº
of Elohim.º |
 5:20
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; for God troubles him in the mirth of his heart. |
 5:20
Forº
he shall notº
muchºº
rememberººº
the daysº
of his life;º
becauseº
Elohimº
answerethººº
[him] in the joyº
of his heart.º |
