1	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.
			2	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. [thing: or, word]
			3	For a dream cometh# through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
			4	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# .
			5	Better is it that thou shouldest not vow# , than that thou shouldest vow# and not pay# .
			6	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?
			7	For in the multitude of dreams and many# words there are also divers vanities: but fear# thou God.
			8	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. [at the... Heb. at the will, or, purpose]
			9	Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served# by the field.
			10	He that loveth# silver shall not be satisfied# with silver; nor he that loveth# abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
			11	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?
			12	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# .
			13	There is a sore# evil which I have seen# under the sun, namely , riches kept# for the owners thereof to their hurt.
			14	But those riches perish# by evil travail: and he begetteth# a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
			15	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.
			16	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?
			17	All his days also he eateth# in darkness, and he hath much# sorrow# and wrath with his sickness.
			18	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. [It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc] [all the days: Heb. the number of the days]
			19	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.
			20	For he shall not much# remember# the days of his life; because God answereth# him in the joy of his heart. [For...: or, Though he give not much, yet he remembereth, etc]
