Ecclesiastes 5:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5
5 Ne permets pas à ta bouche de faire pécher ta chair, et ne dis pas en présence de l’envoyé que c’est une inadvertance. Pourquoi Dieu s’irriterait-il de tes paroles, et détruirait-il l’ouvrage de tes mains?
6 Car, s’il y a des vanités dans la multitude des songes, il y en a aussi dans beaucoup de paroles; c’est pourquoi, crains Dieu.
7 Si tu vois dans une province le pauvre opprimé et la violation du droit et de la justice, ne t’en étonne point; car un homme élevé est placé sous la surveillance d’un autre plus élevé, et au-dessus d’eux il en est de plus élevés encore.
8 Un avantage pour le pays à tous égards, c’est un roi honoré du pays.
9 Celui qui aime l’argent n’est pas rassasié par l’argent, et celui qui aime les richesses n’en profite pas. C’est encore là une vanité.
