Theme

Ecclesiastes 5 (19 verses in the MT) opens: Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter thing before God: for God in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few. The middle of the chapter continues: When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good to the owners thereof, saving the beholding with their eyes? It closes: For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth in the joy of his heart.

Ecclesiastes 5 comprises 19 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter th. Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter thing before God: for God in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice by multitude of words. When you vowest a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before. Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that it an error: wherefore should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Movement III (vv. 9-12) — He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that lo. He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this also vanity. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good to the owners thereof, saving the beholding with their eyes? The sleep of a labouring man sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not. Movement IV (vv. 13-16) — But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and not. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and nothing in his hand. 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. And this also a sore evil, in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has laboured for. Movement V (vv. 17-19) — Behold which I have seen: good and comely to eat and to drink, and to en. Behold which I have seen: good and comely 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 his portion. Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this the.
