5Suffer not your mouth to lead your flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error: lest God be angry at your voice, and destroy the works of your hands.
6For there is evil in a multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear you God.
7If you should see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter: for there is a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them.
8Also the abundance of the earth is for every one: the king is dependent on the tilled field.
9He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.
10In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding it with his eyes?
11The sleep of a servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers him to sleep.
12There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.
13And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and the man begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
14As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labor, that it should go with him in his hand.
15And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labors?
