Ecclesiastes 5 — GMV
5
Verse 1
Be not hasty with thy mouth,
Verse 2
For through the multitude of trial a dream comes;
Verse 3
Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to God,
Verse 4
It is better that thou shouldest not vow,
Verse 5
Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy flesh to sin;
Verse 6
For there is evil in a multitude of dreams and vanities and many words:
Verse 7
If thou shouldest see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land,
Verse 8
Also the abundance of the earth is for everyone:
Verse 9
He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver:
Verse 10
In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it:
Verse 11
The sleep of a servant is sweet,
Verse 12
There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun,
Verse 13
And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble:
Verse 14
As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb,
Verse 15
And this is also an evil infirmity:
Verse 16
Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning,
Verse 17
Behold, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing for a man
Verse 18
Yea, and as for every man to whom God has given
Verse 19
For he shall not much remember the days of his life;
