1 \5:2\Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

17 שְׁמֹ֣ר רַגְלֶיךָ רַגְלְךָ֗ כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר תֵּלֵךְ֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וְקָרֹ֣וב לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ מִתֵּ֥ת הַכְּסִילִ֖ים זָ֑בַח כִּֽי־אֵינָ֥ם יֹודְעִ֖ים לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות רָֽע׃

2 \5:3\For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by a multitude of words.

1 אַל־תְּבַהֵ֨ל עַל־פִּ֜יךָ וְלִבְּךָ֧ אַל־יְמַהֵ֛ר לְהֹוצִ֥יא דָבָ֖ר לִפְנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֤ים בַּשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְאַתָּ֣ה עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ עַֽל־כֵּ֛ן³ יִהְי֥וּ דְבָרֶ֖יךָ מְעַטִּֽים׃

3 \5:4\When thou vowest a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

2 כִּ֛י בָּ֥א הַחֲלֹ֖ום בְּרֹ֣ב עִנְיָ֑ן וְקֹ֥ול כְּסִ֖יל בְּרֹ֥ב דְּבָרִֽים׃

4 \5:5\Better is it that thou shouldst not vow, than that thou shouldst vow and not pay.

3 כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ תִּדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר לֵֽאלֹהִ֗ים אַל־תְּאַחֵר֙ לְשַׁלְּמֹ֔ו כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין חֵ֖פֶץ בַּכְּסִילִ֑ים אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־תִּדֹּ֖ר שַׁלֵּֽם׃

5 \5:6\Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

4 טֹ֖וב אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־תִדֹּ֑ר מִשֶּׁתִּדֹּ֖ור וְלֹ֥א תְשַׁלֵּֽם׃

6 \5:7\For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

5 אַל־תִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־פִּ֙יךָ֙ לַחֲטִ֣יא אֶת־בְּשָׂרֶ֔ךָ וְאַל־תֹּאמַר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ כִּ֥י שְׁגָגָ֖ה הִ֑יא לָ֣מָּה יִקְצֹ֤ף הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־קֹולֶ֔ךָ וְחִבֵּ֖ל אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדֶֽיךָ׃

7 \5:8\If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perversion of judgment and justice in a province, wonder not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there are higher than they.

6 כִּ֣י בְרֹ֤ב חֲלֹמֹות֙ וַהֲבָלִ֔ים וּדְבָרִ֖ים הַרְבֵּ֑ה כִּ֥י אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים יְרָֽא׃

8 \5:9\Moreover, the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

7 אִם־עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְגֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַמְּדִינָ֔ה אַל־תִּתְמַ֖הּ עַל־הַחֵ֑פֶץ כִּ֣י גָבֹ֜הַּ מֵעַ֤ל גָּבֹ֙הַּ֙ שֹׁמֵ֔ר וּגְבֹהִ֖ים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

9 \5:10\He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

8 וְיִתְרֹ֥ון אֶ֖רֶץ בַּכֹּ֣ל הִיא ה֑וּא מֶ֥לֶךְ לְשָׂדֶ֖ה נֶעֱבָֽד׃

10 \5:11\When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners of them, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

9 אֹהֵ֥ב כֶּ֙סֶף֙ לֹא־יִשְׂבַּ֣ע כֶּ֔סֶף וּמִֽי־אֹהֵ֥ב בֶּהָמֹ֖ון לֹ֣א תְבוּאָ֑ה גַּם־זֶ֖ה הָֽבֶל׃

11 \5:12\The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eateth little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

10 בִּרְבֹות֙ הַטֹּובָ֔ה רַבּ֖וּ אֹוכְלֶ֑יהָ וּמַה־כִּשְׁרֹון֙ לִבְעָלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֖י אִם־ רְאִיַּת רְא֥וּת עֵינָֽיו׃

12 \5:13\There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners of them to their hurt.

11 מְתוּקָה֙ שְׁנַ֣ת הָעֹבֵ֔ד אִם־מְעַ֥ט וְאִם־הַרְבֵּ֖ה יֹאכֵ֑ל וְהַשָּׂבָע֙ לֶֽעָשִׁ֔יר אֵינֶ֛נּוּ מַנִּ֥יחַֽ לֹ֖ו לִישֹֽׁון׃

13 \5:14\But those riches perish by evil labor: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

12 יֵ֚שׁ רָעָ֣ה חֹולָ֔ה רָאִ֖יתִי תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ עֹ֛שֶׁר שָׁמ֥וּר לִבְעָלָ֖יו לְרָעָתֹֽו׃

14 \5:15\As he came into the world, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

13 וְאָבַ֛ד הָעֹ֥שֶׁר הַה֖וּא בְּעִנְיַ֣ן רָ֑ע וְהֹולִ֣יד בֵּ֔ן וְאֵ֥ין בְּיָדֹ֖ו מְאֽוּמָה׃

15 \5:16\And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind?

14 כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר יָצָא֙ מִבֶּ֣טֶן אִמֹּ֔ו עָרֹ֛ום יָשׁ֥וּב לָלֶ֖כֶת כְּשֶׁבָּ֑א וּמְא֙וּמָה֙ לֹא־יִשָּׂ֣א בַעֲמָלֹ֔ו שֶׁיֹּלֵ֖ךְ בְּיָדֹֽו׃

16 \5:17\All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

15 וְגַם־זֹה֙ רָעָ֣ה חֹולָ֔ה כָּל־עֻמַּ֥ת שֶׁבָּ֖א כֵּ֣ן יֵלֵ֑ךְ וּמַה־יִּתְרֹ֣ון לֹ֔ו שֶֽׁיַּעֲמֹ֖ל לָרֽוּחַ׃

17 \5:18\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 labor that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

16 גַּ֥ם כָּל־יָמָ֖יו בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֹאכֵ֑ל וְכָעַ֥ס הַרְבֵּ֖ה וְחָלְיֹ֥ו וָקָֽצֶף׃

18 \5:19\Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

17 הִנֵּ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־רָאִ֣יתִי אָ֗נִי טֹ֣וב אֲשֶׁר־יָפֶ֣ה לֶֽאֶכֹול־וְ֠לִשְׁתֹּות וְלִרְאֹ֨ות טֹובָ֜ה בְּכָל־עֲמָלֹ֣ו׀ שֶׁיַּעֲמֹ֣ל תַּֽחַת־הַשֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ מִסְפַּ֧ר יְמֵי־ חַיָּו חַיָּ֛יו^q אֲשֶׁר־נָֽתַן־לֹ֥ו הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־ה֥וּא חֶלְקֹֽו׃

19 \5:20\For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

18 גַּ֣ם כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֡ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָֽתַן־לֹ֣ו הָאֱלֹהִים֩ עֹ֨שֶׁר וּנְכָסִ֜ים וְהִשְׁלִיטֹ֨ו לֶאֱכֹ֤ל מִמֶּ֙נּוּ֙ וְלָשֵׂ֣את אֶת־חֶלְקֹ֔ו וְלִשְׂמֹ֖חַ בַּעֲמָלֹ֑ו זֹ֕ה מַתַּ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֖ים הִֽיא׃
