ECC 5:6 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?
ECC 5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also
divers vanities: but fear thou God.
ECC 5:8 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.
ECC 5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself
