Ecclesiastes Chapter 5 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Keep <H8104> thy foot <H7272> when thou goest <H3212> to the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> and be more ready <H7138> to hear, <H8085> than to give <H5414> the sacrifice <H2077> of fools: <H3684> for they consider <H3045> not that they do <H6213> evil. <H7451>
2: Be not rash <H0926> with thy mouth, <H6310> and let not thine heart <H3820> be hasty <H4116> to utter <H3318> [any] thing <H1697> before <H6440> God: <H0430> for God <H0430> [is] in heaven, <H8064> and thou upon earth: <H0776> therefore let thy words <H1697> be few. <H4592>
3: For a dream <H2472> cometh <H0935> through the multitude <H7230> of business; <H6045> and a fool's <H3684> voice <H6963> [is known] by multitude <H7230> of words. <H1697>
4: When thou vowest <H5087> a vow <H5088> unto God, <H0430> defer <H0309> not to pay <H7999> it; for [he hath] no pleasure <H2656> in fools: <H3684> pay <H7999> that which thou hast vowed. <H5087>
5: Better <H2896> [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, <H5087> than that thou shouldest vow <H5087> and not pay. <H7999>
6: Suffer <H5414> not thy mouth <H6310> to cause thy flesh <H1320> to sin; <H2398> neither say <H0559> thou before <H6440> the angel, <H4397> that it [was] an error: <H7684> wherefore should God <H0430> be angry <H7107> at thy voice, <H6963> and destroy <H2254> the work <H4639> of thine hands? <H3027>
7: For in the multitude <H7230> of dreams <H2472> and many <H7235> words <H1697> [there are] also [divers] vanities: <H1892> but fear <H3372> thou God. <H0430>
8: If thou seest <H7200> the oppression <H6233> of the poor, <H7326> and violent <H1499> perverting of judgment <H4941> and justice <H6664> in a province, <H4082> marvel <H8539> not at the matter: <H2656> for [he that is] higher <H1364> than <H5921> the highest <H1364> regardeth; <H8104> and [there be] higher <H1364> than they.
9: Moreover the profit <H3504> of the earth <H0776> is for all: the king <H4428> [himself] is served <H5647> by the field. <H7704>
10: He that loveth <H0157> silver <H3701> shall not be satisfied <H7646> with silver; <H3701> nor he that loveth <H0157> abundance <H1995> with increase: <H8393> this [is] also vanity. <H1892>
11: When goods <H2896> increase, <H7235> they are increased <H7231> that eat <H0398> them: and what good <H3788> [is there] to the owners <H1167> thereof, saving <H0518> the beholding <H7207> <H7212> [of them] with their eyes? <H5869>
12: The sleep <H8142> of a labouring man <H5647> [is] sweet, <H4966> whether he eat <H0398> little <H4592> or much: <H7235> but the abundance <H7647> of the rich <H6223> will not suffer <H3240> him to sleep. <H3462>
13: There is <H3426> a sore <H2470> evil <H7451> [which] I have seen <H7200> under the sun, <H8121> [namely], riches <H6239> kept <H8104> for the owners <H1167> thereof to their hurt. <H7451>
14: But those riches <H6239> perish <H0006> by evil <H7451> travail: <H6045> and he begetteth <H3205> a son, <H1121> and [there is] nothing <H0369> <H3972> in his hand. <H3027>
15: As he came forth <H3318> of his mother's <H0517> womb, <H0990> naked <H6174> shall he return <H7725> to go <H3212> as he came, <H0935> and shall take <H5375> nothing <H3808> <H3972> of his labour, <H5999> which he may carry away <H3212> in his hand. <H3027>
16: And this <H2090> also [is] a sore <H2470> evil, <H7451> [that] in all points <H5980> as he came, <H0935> so shall he go: <H3212> and what profit <H3504> hath he that hath laboured <H5998> for the wind? <H7307>
17: All his days <H3117> also he eateth <H0398> in darkness, <H2822> and [he hath] much <H7235> sorrow <H3707> and wrath <H7110> with his sickness. <H2483>
18: Behold [that] which I have seen: <H7200> [it is] good <H2896> and comely <H3303> [for one] to eat <H0398> and to drink, <H8354> and to enjoy <H7200> the good <H2896> of all his labour <H5999> that he taketh <H5998> under the sun <H8121> all <H4557> the days <H3117> of his life, <H2416> which God <H0430> giveth <H5414> him: for it [is] his portion. <H2506>
19: Every man <H0120> also to whom God <H0430> hath given <H5414> riches <H6239> and wealth, <H5233> and hath given him power <H7980> to eat <H0398> thereof, and to take <H5375> his portion, <H2506> and to rejoice <H8055> in his labour; <H5999> this <H2090> [is] the gift <H4991> of God. <H0430>
20: For he shall not much <H7235> remember <H2142> the days <H3117> of his life; <H2416> because God <H0430> answereth <H6031> [him] in the joy <H8057> of his heart. <H3820>
