kjv Ecclesiastes:5:1-8 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 a dream cometh through the multitude of business ;
and a fool '
s voice is known by multitude of words .
*
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 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 ;
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 .
