Ecclesiastes 5:7

← Ecclesiastes 5:6 Ecclesiastes 5:7 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:8 →
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?
For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
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.
