KeepH8104 thy footH7272 when thou goestH3212 to the houseH1004 of GodH430, and be more readyH7138 to hearH8085, than to giveH5414 the sacrificeH2077 of foolsH3684: for they considerH3045 not that they doH6213 evilH7451.
Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thine heartH3820 be hastyH4116 to utterH3318 any thingH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430: for GodH430 is in heavenH8064, and thou upon earthH776: therefore let thy wordsH1697 be fewH4592. {thing: or, word}
For a dreamH2472 comethH935 through the multitudeH7230 of businessH6045; and a fool'sH3684 voiceH6963 is known by multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697.
When thou vowestH5087 a vowH5088 unto GodH430, deferH309 not to payH7999 it; for he hath no pleasureH2656 in foolsH3684: payH7999 that which thou hast vowedH5087.
BetterH2896 is it that thou shouldest not vowH5087, than that thou shouldest vowH5087 and not payH7999.
SufferH5414 not thy mouthH6310 to cause thy fleshH1320 to sinH2398; neither sayH559 thou beforeH6440 the angelH4397, that it was an errorH7684: wherefore should GodH430 be angryH7107 at thy voiceH6963, and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027?
For in the multitudeH7230 of dreamsH2472 and manyH7235 wordsH1697 there are also divers vanitiesH1892: but fearH3372 thou GodH430.
If thou seestH7200 the oppressionH6233 of the poorH7326, and violentH1499 perverting of judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664 in a provinceH4082, marvelH8539 not at the matterH2656: for he that is higherH1364 than the highestH1364 regardethH8104; and there be higherH1364 than theyH5921. {at the…: Heb. at the will, or, purpose}
Moreover the profitH3504 of the earthH776 is for all: the kingH4428 himself is servedH5647 by the fieldH7704.
He that lovethH157 silverH3701 shall not be satisfiedH7646 with silverH3701; nor he that lovethH157 abundanceH1995 with increaseH8393: this is also vanityH1892.
When goodsH2896 increaseH7235, they are increasedH7231 that eatH398 them: and what goodH3788 is there to the ownersH1167 thereof, savingH518 the beholdingH7207+H7212 of them with their eyesH5869?
The sleepH8142 of a labouring manH5647 is sweetH4966, whether he eatH398 littleH4592 or muchH7235: but the abundanceH7647 of the richH6223 will not sufferH3240 him to sleepH3462.
There isH3426 a soreH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 thereof to their hurtH7451.
But those richesH6239 perishH6 by evilH7451 travailH6045: and he begettethH3205 a sonH1121, and there is nothingH3972 in his handH3027.
As he came forthH3318 of his mother'sH517 wombH990, nakedH6174 shall he returnH7725 to goH3212 as he cameH935, and shall takeH5375 nothingH3972 of his labourH5999, which he may carry awayH3212 in his handH3027.
And thisH2090 also is a soreH2470 evilH7451, that in all pointsH5980 as he cameH935, so shall he goH3212: and what profitH3504 hath he that hath labouredH5998 for the windH7307?
All his daysH3117 also he eatethH398 in darknessH2822, and he hath muchH7235 sorrowH3707 and wrathH7110 with his sicknessH2483.
Behold that which I have seenH7200: it is goodH2896 and comelyH3303 for one to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to enjoyH7200 the goodH2896 of all his labourH5999 that he takethH5998 under the sunH8121 allH4557 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, which GodH430 givethH5414 him: for it is his portionH2506. {It is good…: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc} {all the days: Heb. the number of the days}
Every manH120 also to whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 richesH6239 and wealthH5233, and hath given him powerH7980 to eatH398 thereof, and to takeH5375 his portionH2506, and to rejoiceH8055 in his labourH5999; thisH2090 is the giftH4991 of GodH430.
For he shall not muchH7235 rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416; because GodH430 answerethH6031 him in the joyH8057 of his heartH3820. {For…: or, Though he give not much, yet he remembereth, etc}

There isH3426 oneH259 alone, and there is not a secondH8145; yea, he hath neither childH1121 nor brotherH251: yet is there no endH7093 of all his labourH5999; neither is his eyeH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239; neither saith he, For whom do I labourH6001, and bereaveH2637 my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This is also vanityH1892, yea, it is a soreH7451 travailH6045.
All this have I seenH7200, and appliedH5414 my heartH3820 unto every workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: there is a timeH6256 wherein one manH120 rulethH7980 over another to his own hurtH7451.
There isH3426 an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, and it is commonH7227 among menH120:
And LotH3876 also, which wentH1980 withH854 AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168.
And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162.
And there was a strifeH7379 between the herdmenH7462 of Abram'sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmenH7462 of Lot'sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dwelledH3427 then in the landH776.
And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Let there beH1961 noH408 strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenH7462 and thy herdmenH7462; for weH582 be brethrenH251. {brethren: Heb. men brethren}
Is not the whole landH776 before theeH6440? separate thyselfH6504, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH8040, then I will go to the rightH3231; or if thou depart to the right handH3225, then I will go to the leftH8041.
And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820.
Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251.
A manH376 to whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 richesH6239, wealthH5233, and honourH3519, so that he wantethH2638 nothing for his soulH5315 of all that he desirethH183, yet GodH430 giveth him not powerH7980 to eatH398 thereof, but a strangerH376+H5237 eatethH398 it: this is vanityH1892, and it is an evilH7451 diseaseH2483.
And he brought backH7725 all the goodsH7399, and also brought againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.
And LotH3876 went outH3318, and spakeH1696 unto his sons in lawH2860, which marriedH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, UpH6965, get you outH3318 of this placeH4725; for the LORDH3068 will destroyH7843 this cityH5892. But he seemed as one that mockedH6711 untoH5869 his sons in lawH2860.
And the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is not a manH376 in the earthH776 to come inH935 unto us after the mannerH1870 of all the earthH776:
ComeH3212, let us makeH8248 our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and we will lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.
And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915: and the firstbornH1067 went inH935, and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Behold, I layH7901 yesternightH570 with my fatherH1: let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 this nightH3915 also; and go thou inH935, and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.
And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 thatH1931 nightH3915 also: and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965, and layH7901 with him; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.
Thus were bothH8147 the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 with childH2029 by their fatherH1.
And the firstbornH1067 bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 MoabH4124: the sameH1931 is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 unto this dayH3117.
And the youngerH6810, she also bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 BenammiH1151: the same is the fatherH1 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 unto this dayH3117.
If they sayH559, ComeH3212 with us, let us lay waitH693 for bloodH1818, let us lurkH6845 privily for the innocentH5355 without causeH2600:
Let us swallow them upH1104 aliveH2416 as the graveH7585; and wholeH8549, as those that go downH3381 into the pitH953:
We shall findH4672 all preciousH3368 substanceH1952, we shall fillH4390 our housesH1004 with spoilH7998:
So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
For the turning awayH4878 of the simpleH6612 shall slayH2026 them, and the prosperityH7962 of foolsH3684 shall destroyH6 them. {turning…: or, ease of the simple}
RichesH1952 profitH3276 not in the dayH3117 of wrathH5678: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337 from deathH4194.
There isH3426 that scatterethH6340, and yet increasethH3254; and there is that withholdethH2820 more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.
The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878: and he that waterethH7301 shall be wateredH3384 also himself. {liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing}
In that dayH3117 a manH120 shall castH7993 his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which they made each one for himselfH6213 to worshipH7812, to the molesH2661+H6512 and to the batsH5847; {his idols of silver…: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each…: or, for him}
For the vile personH5036 will speakH1696 villanyH5039, and his heartH3820 will workH6213 iniquityH205, to practiseH6213 hypocrisyH2612, and to utterH1696 errorH8442 against the LORDH3068, to make emptyH7324 the soulH5315 of the hungryH7457, and he will cause the drinkH4945 of the thirstyH6771 to failH2637.
The instrumentsH3627 also of the churlH3596 are evilH7451: he devisethH3289 wicked devicesH2154 to destroyH2254 the poorH6041+H6035 with lyingH8267 wordsH561, even when the needyH34 speakethH1696 rightH4941. {the needy…: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}
But the liberalH5081 devisethH3289 liberal thingsH5081; and by liberal thingsH5081 shall he standH6965. {stand: or, be established}
Neither their silverH3701 nor their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 wrathH5678; but the whole landH776 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213 even a speedyH926 riddanceH3617 of all them that dwellH3427 in the landH776.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 a parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, The groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifullyG2164:
AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG3450 fruitsG2590?
AndG2532 he saidG2036, ThisG5124 will I doG4160: I will pull downG2507 myG3450 barnsG596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3187; andG2532 thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 myG3450 fruitsG1081 andG2532 myG3450 goodsG18.
AndG2532 I will sayG2046 to myG3450 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.
AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 unto himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621.
ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756+G2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153.
I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624.
SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord'sG2962 debtorsG5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG3450 lordG2962?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. {measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}
ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. {measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633. {mammon: or, riches}
He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.
IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches? {mammon: or, riches}
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man'sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212?
NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250:
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the beggarG4434 diedG599, andG2532 was carriedG667 byG5259 the angelsG32 intoG1519 Abraham'sG11 bosomG2859: the rich manG4145 alsoG1161+G2532 diedG599, andG2532 was buriedG2290;
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 these thingsG5023, he saidG2036 unto himG846, YetG2089 lackestG3007 thouG4671 oneG1520 thing: sellG4453 allG3956 thatG3745 thou hastG2192, andG2532 distributeG1239 unto the poorG4434, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 comeG1204, followG190 meG3427.
AndG1161 when he heardG191 thisG5023, he wasG1096 very sorrowfulG4036: forG1063 he wasG2258 veryG4970 richG4145.
AndG1161 ZacchaeusG2195 stoodG2476, and saidG2036 untoG4314 the LordG2962; BeholdG2400, LordG2962, the halfG2255 of myG3450 goodsG5224 I giveG1325 to the poorG4434; andG2532 ifG1536 I have takenG4811 any thingG1536 from any manG5100 by false accusationG4811, I restoreG591 him fourfoldG5073.
ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684.
ForG1063 the love of moneyG5365 isG2076 the rootG4491 of allG3956 evilG2556: whichG3739 while someG5100 coveted afterG3713, they have erredG635 fromG575 the faithG4102, andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601. {erred: or, been seduced}
HearkenG191, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG5127 worldG2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846? {of the: or, of that}
ButG1161 yeG5210 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG5216, andG2532 drawG846+G1670 youG5209 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922?
DoG987 notG3756 theyG846 blasphemeG987 that worthyG2570 nameG3686 byG1909 the which yeG5209 are calledG1941? {blaspheme: or, revile, or, slander}
Go toG33 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and howlG3649 forG1909 yourG5216 miseriesG5004 that shall come uponG1904 you.
