Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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.
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.
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.
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.
For the
dream hath
come
by
abundance
of business ,
and the
voice
of
a fool
by abundance
of words.
For a
dream cometh
through
the
multitude
of business ;
and a fool's
voice
is
known
by multitude
of words.
When thou vowest a vow to
God, delay
not to complete
it ,
for there
is
no pleasure in fools ;
that which thou vowest
--
complete
.
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
.
Better that thou do
not vow, than that thou dost
vow and dost
not complete
.
Better is
it
that thou shouldest
not vow, than that thou shouldest
vow and not pay
.
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?
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?
For ,
in the abundance
of dreams both
vanities
and words abound;
but fear thou God.
For in the multitude
of dreams and many
words there
are
also
divers
vanities:
but fear thou God.
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
.
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
.
And
the abundance
of a
land
is for all .
A
king for
a
field
is served.
Moreover
the profit
of the
earth
is for all :
the
king himself
is served by
the
field
.
Whoso
is
loving
silver is
not satisfied `
with '
silver ,
nor he who
is
in
love
with
stores
`
with '
increase .
Even
this `
is '
vanity.
He
that
loveth
silver shall
not be
satisfied with silver ;
nor he that
loveth
abundance
with increase :
this is also
vanity.
In
the
multiplying
of
good
have
its
consumers
been
multiplied
, and what benefit
`
is '
to its
possessor
except
the sight
of his
eyes?
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?
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.
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.
There is a painful
evil I have seen under the sun :
wealth
kept
for
its
possessor
, for his
evil
.
There is a sore
evil which
I have seen under the sun, namely,
riches
kept
for the
owners
thereof
to
their
hurt
.
And
that
wealth
hath
been
lost
in
an
evil business,
and he hath
begotten
a son and there is nothing in his hand !
But
those
riches
perish
by
evil travail:
and he begetteth
a son ,
and there is nothing 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.
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.
And this also `
is '
a painful
evil, just
as he came, so he goeth,
and what advantage
`is'
to
him
who
laboureth
for wind?
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?
Also
all his days in darkness he
consumeth
, and sadness,
and wrath ,
and
sickness abound
.
All his days also
he
eateth
in darkness, and he
hath
much
sorrow
and wrath with
his
sickness.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For he doth
not much remember the days of his life ,
for
God is
answering
through
the joy of his heart.
For he shall
not much remember the days of his life ;
because
God answereth
him
in
the joy of his heart.
