Geld is “’n beskutting”, en sorgvuldige beplanning kan dikwels swaarkry voorkom (Prediker 7:12).
(Ecclesiastes 9:11) Money is “for a protection,” and careful planning can often avert hardship.

Dit is eerder soos die Bybel sê: “Hy wat geld liefhet, kry nie genoeg van geld nie, en wie rykdom liefhet, nie van inkomste nie” (Prediker 5:9).
But instead it is as the Bible says, a “lover of silver will not be satisfied with silver, neither any lover of wealth with income.”

Tienduisende gee gehoor aan die raad in Prediker 12:1: “En dink aan jou Skepper in die dae van jou jonkheid.”

Daardie woorde van raad aan julle jongmense kom ooreen met dié wat duisende jare tevore in die Bybelboek Prediker neergeskryf is: “Verbly jou, o jongeling, in jou jeug en laat jou hart jou vrolik maak in die dae van jou jonkheid; en wandel in die weë van jou hart en in die aanskouing van jou oë” (Prediker 11:9a).
Those words of advice to you younger ones echo those written thousands of years earlier in the Bible book of Ecclesiastes: “Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart do you good in the days of your young manhood [or, womanhood], and walk in the ways of your heart and in the things seen by your eyes.”

Die Bybel sê: “Die dooies weet glad niks nie.”—Prediker 9:5; Psalm 146:3, 4.
