Pengkhotbah 5:2
Konteks5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.
Pengkhotbah 7:14
Konteks7:14 In times of prosperity 1 be joyful,
but in times of adversity 2 consider this:
God has made one as well as the other, 3
so that no one can discover what the future holds. 4
[7:14] 1 tn Heb “the day of good.”
[7:14] 2 tn Heb “the day of evil.”
[7:14] 3 tn Less probable renderings of this line are “God hath made the one side by side with the other” (ASV) and “God has set the one alongside the other” (NEB).
[7:14] 4 tn Heb “anything after him.” This line is misinterpreted by several versions: “that man may not find against him any just complaint” (Douay); “consequently, man may find no fault with Him” (NJPS); “so that man cannot find fault with him in anything” (NAB).
