King James Version with Strongs Numbers - Ecclesiastes 5 << | >> 123456789101112 5:1 Be not rash0926 with thy mouth6310, and let not thine heart3820 be hasty4116 to utter3318 {any} thing1697 before6440 God0430: for God0430 {is} in heaven8064, and thou upon earth0776: therefore let thy words1697 be few4592. 5:2 For a dream2472 cometh0935 through the multitude7230 of business6045; and a fool's3684 voice6963 {is known} by multitude7230 of words1697. 5:3 When thou vowest5087 a vow5088 unto God0430, defer0309 not to pay7999 it; for {he hath} no pleasure2656 in fools3684: pay7999 that which thou hast vowed5087. 5:4 Better2896 {is it} that thou shouldest not vow5087, than that thou shouldest vow5087 and not pay7999. 5:5 Suffer5414 not thy mouth6310 to cause thy flesh1320 to sin2398; neither say0559 thou before6440 the angel4397, that it {was} an error7684: wherefore should God0430 be angry7107 at thy voice6963, and destroy2254 the work4639 of thine hands3027? 5:6 For in the multitude7230 of dreams2472 and many7235 words1697 {there are} also {divers} vanities1892: but fear3372 thou God0430. 5:7 If thou seest7200 the oppression6233 of the poor7326, and violent1499 perverting of judgment4941 and justice6664 in a province4082, marvel8539 not at the matter2656: for {he that is} higher1364 than the highest1364 regardeth8104; and {there be} higher1364 than they5921. 5:8 Moreover the profit3504 of the earth0776 is for all: the king4428 {himself} is served5647 by the field7704. 5:9 He that loveth0157 silver3701 shall not be satisfied7646 with silver3701; nor he that loveth0157 abundance1995 with increase8393: this {is} also vanity1892. 5:10 When goods2896 increase7235, they are increased7231 that eat0398 them: and what good3788 {is there} to the owners1167 thereof, saving0518 the beholding7207-7212 {of them} with their eyes5869? 5:11 The sleep8142 of a labouring man5647 {is} sweet4966, whether he eat0398 little4592 or much7235: but the abundance7647 of the rich6223 will not suffer3240 him to sleep3462. 5:12 There is3426 a sore2470 evil7451 {which} I have seen7200 under the sun8121, {namely}, riches6239 kept8104 for the owners1167 thereof to their hurt7451. 5:13 But those riches6239 perish0006 by evil7451 travail6045: and he begetteth3205 a son1121, and {there is} nothing3972 in his hand3027. 5:14 As he came forth3318 of his mother's0517 womb0990, naked6174 shall he return7725 to go3212 as he came0935, and shall take5375 nothing3972 of his labour5999, which he may carry away3212 in his hand3027. 5:15 And this2090 also {is} a sore2470 evil7451, {that} in all points5980 as he came0935, so shall he go3212: and what profit3504 hath he that hath laboured5998 for the wind7307? 5:16 All his days3117 also he eateth0398 in darkness2822, and {he hath} much7235 sorrow3707 and wrath7110 with his sickness2483. 5:17 Behold {that} which I have seen7200: {it is} good2896 and comely3303 {for one} to eat0398 and to drink8354, and to enjoy7200 the good2896 of all his labour5999 that he taketh5998 under the sun8121 all4557 the days3117 of his life2416, which God0430 giveth5414 him: for it {is} his portion2506. 5:18 Every man0120 also to whom God0430 hath given5414 riches6239 and wealth5233, and hath given him power7980 to eat0398 thereof, and to take5375 his portion2506, and to rejoice8055 in his labour5999; this2090 {is} the gift4991 of God0430. 5:19 For he shall not much7235 remember2142 the days3117 of his life2416; because God0430 answereth6031 {him} in the joy8057 of his heart3820.
