Be not rashwith thy mouth, and let not thineheart be hasty to utter any thingbefore God: for God is in heaven, and thouuponearth: therefore let thy words be few.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thoubefore the angel, that it was an error: whereforeshould God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thinehands?
If thouseest the oppression of the poor, and violentperverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higherthan the highestregardeth; and there be higherthanthey.
Beholdthatwhich I haveseen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labourthat he takethunder the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
Every man also to whom God hathgivenriches and wealth, and hathgiven him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
