RF ECC 5:1 Lecture 5: On Reverence in the Worship of God.
Guard your foot when you go to the House of GOD, and approach to listen, rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not understand that they do wrong.
RF ECC 5:2 Be not in a hurry with your mouth and your heart. Hasten not to pour out speech before God,—for God is in Heaven and you upon the Earth,—therefore let your words be few,
RF ECC 5:3 for the dream comes from many anxieties, and a fool's voice with many words.
RF ECC 5:4 When you vow a gift to God, delay not to pay it,—for He is not pleased with evasions.—Do what you have promised.—
RF ECC 5:5 It is better not to promise, than to be promising and not performing.
RF ECC 5:6 Do not allow your mouth to cause yourself to offend;—and do not say to the Messenger that it was a mistake.—Why should God be angered by your voice, and injure the work of your hands?
RF ECC 5:7 For in many dreams there are delusions and many readings. Therefore reverence God.
RF ECC 5:8 If you see oppression of the poor, and distortion of justice and right in a Province, do not be surprised at the perversion, for a higher than the highest watches,—and a Higher than them.—
RF ECC 5:9 Yet the most excellent thing of all for a land is a King who is the Servant of his Country!
RF ECC 5:10 Lecture 6: On Avarice.
The love of money will never be satisfied with money;—nor he who loves wealth by its increase. That also is vanity.
RF ECC 5:11 When wealth increases the consumers increase.—Then what benefit to its possessor?—except to look on it with his eyes?
RF ECC 5:12 The laborer's sleep is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the excess of the rich does not allow him to sleep.
RF ECC 5:13 There is a distressing misery I have seen under the sun;—wealth kept to the injury of its possessor;—
RF ECC 5:14 And that wealth perishing by an unfortunate accident;—when he has begot a son, and he possesses nothing!
RF ECC 5:15 As he comes naked from his mother's womb, he will turn to depart as he came, and he takes away nothing for all his labour to carry in his hand.—
RF ECC 5:16 Yes! this also is a grievous misery all bear,—that as they came, so they go,—and what continues is vexation of spirit.
RF ECC 5:17 He also eats all his days in darkness, and much anxiety, sickness, and vexation.—
RF ECC 5:18 Therefore, what I myself have concluded to be good and pleasant is, to eat and drink, and to see pleasure in all one's efforts that one attempts under the sun, for the number of the days that God gives to us;—for that is one's lot.
RF ECC 5:19 Also that every man to whom God has given wealth, and treasures, and power, should taste of them, and enjoy his lot, and take pleasure in whatever work GOD appoints for him,
RF ECC 5:20 so that he may not too much think upon the day of his life, when God removes him from the joys of his heart!
