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}

And turn ye not asideH5493: for then should ye go afterH310 vainH8414 things, which cannot profitH3276 nor deliverH5337; for they are vainH8414.
For what hathH1933 manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, whereinH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121?
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
He that troublethH5916 his own houseH1004 shall inheritH5157 the windH7307: and the foolH191 shall be servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heartH3820.
For all his daysH3117 are sorrowsH4341, and his travailH6045 griefH3708; yea, his heartH3820 taketh not restH7901 in the nightH3915. This is also vanityH1892.

We have been with childH2029, we have been in painH2342, we have as it wereH3644 brought forthH3205 windH7307; we have not wroughtH6213 any deliveranceH3444 in the earthH776; neitherH1077 have the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 fallenH5307.
For they have sownH2232 the windH7307, and they shall reapH7114 the whirlwindH5492: it hath no stalkH7054: the budH6780 shall yieldH6213 no mealH7058: ifH194 so be it yieldH6213, the strangersH2114 shall swallow it upH1104. {stalk: or, standing corn}
LabourG2038 notG3361 for the meatG1035 whichG3588 perishethG622, butG235 for that meatG1035 whichG3588 endurethG3306 untoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall giveG1325 unto youG5213: forG1063 himG5126 hathG4972 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 sealedG4972. {Labour not: or, Work not}
