Your Attitude toward God

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:1

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 -

[fn]Guard H8104 your steps H7272 as you go H1980 to the house H1004 of God H430, and approach H7126 to listen H8085 rather H4480 than H4480 to offer H5414 the sacrifice H2077 of fools H3684; for they do not know H3045 that they are doing H6213 evil H7451.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:2

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - [fn]Do not be H926 quick H926 with your mouth H6310 or [fn]impulsive H4116 in thought H3820 to bring H3318 up H3318 a matter H1697 in the presence H6440 of God H430. For God H430 is in heaven H8064 and you are on the earth H776; therefore H5921 H3651 let your words H1697 be few H4592.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:3

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - For the dream H2472 comes H935 through much H7230 [fn]effort H6045, and the voice H6963 of a fool H3684 through many H7230 words H1697.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:4

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 -

When H834 you make H5087 a vow H5088 to God H430, do not be late H309 in paying H7999 it; for He takes no H369 delight H2656 in fools H3684. Pay H7999 what H834 you vow H5087!

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:5

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:5 - It is better H2896 that you not vow H5087, than H4480 vow H5087 and not pay H7999.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:6

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:6 - Do not let H5414 your [fn]speech H6310 cause [fn]you to sin H2398, and do not say H559 in the presence H6440 of the messenger H4397 of God that it was a mistake H7684. Why H4100 should God H430 be H7107 angry H7107 on H5921 account H5921 of H5921 your voice H6963, and destroy H2254 the work H4639 of your hands H3027?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:7

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - For in many H7230 dreams H2472 and in many H7235 words H1697 there is futility H1892. Rather H3588, [fn]fear H3372 God H430.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:8

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 -

If H518 you see H7200 oppression H6233 of the poor H7326 and denial H1498 of justice H4941 and righteousness H6664 in the province H4082, do not be H8539 shocked H8539 at the [fn]sight H2656; for one [fn]official H1364 watches H8104 over H4480 H5921 another [fn]official H1364, and there are higher H1364 [fn]officials H1364 over H5921 them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:9

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:9 - After all H3605, a king H4428 who cultivates H5647 the field H7704 is beneficial H3504 to the land H776.

The Foolishness of Riches

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:10

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:10 -

One who loves H157 money H3701 will not be H7646 satisfied H7646 with money H3701, nor H3808 one who H4310 loves H157 abundance H1995 with its income H8393. This H2088 too H1571 is futility H1892.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:11

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - When good H2896 things H2896 increase H7235, those who consume H398 them increase H7231. So what H4100 is the advantage H3788 to their owners H1167 except H3588 H518 to [fn]look H7212 H5869 at them?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:12

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:12 - The sleep H8142 of the laborer H5647 is sweet H4966, whether H518 he eats H398 little H4592 or much H7235; but the [fn]full H7647 stomach H7647 of the rich H6223 person H6223 does not allow H5117 him to sleep H3462.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:13

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:13 -

There H3426 is H3426 a sickening H2470 evil H7451 which I have seen H7200 under H8478 the sun H8121: wealth H6239 being [fn]hoarded H8104 by its owner H1167 to his detriment H7451.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:14

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - When that wealth H6239 was lost H6 through bad H7451 business H6045 and he had fathered H3205 a son H1121, then there H369 was H369 nothing H369 H3972 [fn]to support H3027 him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:15

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:15 - As he came H3318 naked H6174 from his mother’s H517 womb H990, so he will return H7725 H1980 as he came H935. He will take H5375 nothing H3972 H3808 from the fruit H5999 of H5999 his labor H5999 that he can carry H1980 in his hand H3027.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:16

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:16 - This H2090 also H1571 is a sickening H2470 evil H7451: exactly H3605 H5980 as a person [fn]is H935 born H935, so H3651 will he [fn]die H1980. What H4100 then is the advantage H3504 for him who H7945 labors H5998 for the wind H7307?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:17

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:17 - All H3605 his life H3117 he also H1571 eats H398 in darkness H2822 with great H7235 irritation H3708, sickness H2483, and anger H7110.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:18

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 -

Here H2009 is what H834 I have seen H7200 to be good H2896 and [fn]fitting H3303: to eat H398, to drink H8354, and [fn]enjoy H7200 H2896 oneself in all H3605 one’s labor H5999 in which H7945 he labors H5998 under H8478 the sun H8121 during the few H4557 [fn]years H3117 of his life H2416 which H834 God H430 has given H5414 him; for this H1931 is his [fn]reward H2506.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:19

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:19 - Furthermore H1571, as for every H3605 person H120 to whom H834 God H430 has given H5414 riches H6239 and wealth H5233, He has also given H7980 him the H7980 opportunity H7980 to [fn]enjoy H398 them and to receive H5375 his [fn]reward H2506 and rejoice H8055 in his labor H5999; this H2090 is the gift H4991 of God H430.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 5:20

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - For he will not often H7235 call H2142 to H2142 mind H2142 the [fn]years H3117 of his life H2416, because H3588 God H430 keeps H6031 [fn]him busy H6031 with the joy H8057 of his heart H3820.
