21:005:005 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou
           shouldest vow and not pay.

21:005:006 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?

21:005:007 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also
           divers vanities:  but fear thou God.

21:005:008 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.

21:005:009 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all:  the king himself
           is served by the field.

21:005:010 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor
           he that loveth abundance with increase:  this is also vanity.

21:005:011 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?

21:005:012 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.

21:005:013 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely,
           riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

21:005:014 But those riches perish by evil travail:  and he begetteth a
           son, and there is nothing in his hand.

21:005:015 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.

21:005:016 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?

21:005:017 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much
           sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

21:005:018 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.

21:005:019 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.

21:005:020 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because
           God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

21:006:001 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is
           common among men:
