KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Keep thy foot
when thou goest to
the
house of God, and be
more
ready
to hear ,
than to give the
sacrifice
of fools :
for they consider
not that
they do evil.
Keep thy feet
when thou goest unto
a
house of God, and draw
near
to hear rather
than to give of fools the
sacrifice,
for they do
not know
they do evil.
Be
not rash
with
thy mouth, and let not thine
heart be
hasty
to utter
any
thing
before God :
for God is in heaven
, and thou upon
earth :
therefore let thy words be few.
Cause
not thy mouth to
hasten
, and let not thy
heart hasten
to bring
out
a
word
before God ,
for God is in the
heavens
, and thou on
the
earth ,
therefore let thy words be few.
For a
dream
cometh
through
the multitude
of business ;
and a
fool's
voice is
known
by multitude
of words.
For the dream
hath
come
by
abundance
of business ,
and the
voice of
a
fool
by abundance
of words.
When thou vowest a vow unto
God, defer
not to pay
it ;
for he
hath
no pleasure in fools :
pay
that which thou hast
vowed
.
When thou vowest a vow to
God, delay
not to complete
it ,
for there
is
no pleasure in fools ;
that which thou vowest
--
complete
.
Better is
it
that thou shouldest
not vow, than that thou shouldest
vow and not pay
.
Better that thou do
not vow, than that thou dost
vow and dost
not complete
.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin ;
neither
say thou
before the angel
, that it was
an error :
wherefore
should
God be
angry
at
thy voice, and destroy
the work of thine
hands?
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin ,
nor
say before the messenger
, that `
it `is'
an error ,'
why
is
God wroth
because
of
thy voice, and hath
destroyed
the work of thy
hands?
For in the multitude
of dreams and many
words there
are
also
divers
vanities:
but fear thou God.
For ,
in the abundance
of dreams both
vanities
and words abound;
but fear thou God.
If thou
seest
the
oppression of the poor, and violent perverting
of judgment and justice
in a province, marvel
not at the matter :
for he
that
is
higher than the highest
regardeth;
and there
be
higher
than
they
.
If oppression of the poor, and violent taking
away
of judgment and righteousness
thou
seest
in a province, do
not marvel
at the matter ,
for a
higher than the high
is
observing,
and high
ones
`are'
over
them
.
Moreover
the profit
of the
earth
is for all :
the
king himself
is served by
the
field
.
And
the abundance
of a
land
is for all .
A
king for
a
field
is served.
He
that
loveth
silver shall
not be
satisfied with silver ;
nor he that
loveth
abundance
with increase :
this is also
vanity.
Whoso
is
loving
silver is
not satisfied `
with '
silver ,
nor he who
is
in
love
with stores
`with'
increase .
Even
this `
is '
vanity.
When
goods
increase
, they
are
increased
that
eat
them:
and what good
is there
to the
owners
thereof,
saving
the beholding
of them
with
their
eyes?
In
the
multiplying
of
good
have
its
consumers
been
multiplied
, and what benefit
`
is '
to its
possessor
except
the sight
of his
eyes?
The sleep of a
labouring
man
is
sweet,
whether he eat little or much :
but
the abundance
of the rich
will
not suffer
him to sleep.
Sweet
`is'
the sleep of the
labourer
whether he eat little or much ;
and
the sufficiency
of the wealthy
is
not suffering
him to sleep.
There is a sore
evil which
I have seen under the sun ,
namely,
riches
kept for the
owners
thereof
to
their
hurt
.
There is a painful
evil I have seen under the sun :
wealth
kept for its
possessor,
for
his
evil
.
But
those
riches
perish
by
evil travail:
and he begetteth
a son ,
and there is nothing in his hand .
And
that
wealth
hath
been
lost
in
an
evil business,
and he hath
begotten
a son and there is nothing in his hand !
As he came forth
of his mother's
womb
, naked shall
he return
to go as he came, and shall
take
nothing
of his labour, which
he
may
carry
away
in his hand.
As he came out
from
the
belly
of his mother
, naked he turneth
back
to go as he came, and he
taketh
not
away
anything
of his labour, that
doth
go
in his hand.
And this also is a sore
evil, that
in
all
points
as he came, so shall
he go:
and what profit
hath
he
that
hath
laboured
for the
wind?
And this also `
is '
a painful
evil, just
as he came, so he goeth,
and what advantage
`is'
to
him
who
laboureth
for wind?
All his days also
he
eateth
in darkness, and he
hath
much
sorrow
and wrath with
his
sickness.
Also
all his days in darkness he
consumeth
, and sadness,
and wrath ,
and
sickness abound
.
Behold
that which I have seen: it is good and
comely
for
one
to eat and to drink, and to enjoy
the
good of
all his
labour that he taketh
under the sun all
the days of his life ,
which
God giveth
him :
for it is his portion.
Lo,
that which I have seen: `
It is '
good ,
because
beautiful,
to eat ,
and to drink, and to see
good in
all one's
labour that he laboureth
at
under the sun ,
the number
of
the
days of his life that
God hath
given
to
him ,
for it `
is '
his portion.
Every man also to whom God hath given riches
and
wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof
, and to take
his portion, and to rejoice in his labour ;
this is the
gift of God.
Every man also to whom God hath given wealth and
riches
, and hath given him power to eat of
it
, and to accept
his portion, and to rejoice in his labour ,
this is a
gift of God.
For he shall
not much remember the days of his life ;
because
God answereth
him
in
the joy of his heart.
For he doth
not much remember the days of his life ,
for
God is
answering
through
the joy of his heart.
