- When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed. - He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity. - When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes? - As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return,
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand. - Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.
- As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
