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
multitude of
dreams and
many words there are also divers
vanities: 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.

Moreover the
profit of the
earth is for all: the
king himself is
served by the
field.

He that
loveth silver shall not be
satisfied with
silver; nor he that
loveth abundance with
increase: this is also
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?

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
sore evil which I have
seen under the

riches kept for the
owners thereof to their
hurt.

But those

evil travail: and he

nothing in his

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
