“When you make a promise to God, do’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure fools. Keep all the promises you make to Him. It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it. Don’t let your mouth make you sin.” (vv. 4-5)
“Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness ! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth – except perhaps to what it slip through your fingers!” (vv. 10-11)
“Even so, I hav noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat and drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the shot life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life – this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.” (vv. 18-20)
