Ecclesiastes 5:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5

5 Mejor es que no prometas, que no que prometas y no pagues.

6 No sueltes tu boca para hacer pecar á tu carne; ni digas delante del ángel, que fué ignorancia. ¿Por qué [harás que] Dios se aire á causa de tu voz, y que destruya la obra de tus manos?

7 Donde los sueños [son] en multitud, también [lo son] las vanidades y muchas las palabras; mas tú teme á Dios.

8 Si violencias de pobres, y extorsión de derecho y de justicia vieres en la provincia, no te maravilles de esta licencia; porque alto está mirando sobre alto, y [uno] más alto [está] sobre ellos.

9 Además el provecho de la tierra es para todos: el rey [mismo] está sujeto á los campos.
