For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
