ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
If you are a lover of wealth, you have spiritual riches: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether; more to be desired than much gold and precious stone.
If you are given to enjoyment and pleasure, you have the oracles of God, which to him whose spiritual sense is sound are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
A demon stands by, kindling madness through the spotted dice-bones, and shifting the same money to either side, now lifting up this one with victory and casting dejection upon the other, then again showing that one exulting and this one put to shame.
What profit is there in fasting in body, while the soul is filled with countless evils? He who does not gamble, but spends his leisure otherwise—what vain things does he not utter? What absurd things does he not hear? For leisure, without the fear of God, is a teacher of wickedness to those who have nothing fitting to occupy them.
What has been said is sufficient for a fair-minded judge, if one looks not to the riches of creation, but to the weakness of our power, and to what suffices for the gladness of those who have assembled.
And may He who has filled all things with His own creation, and who has left in all of us clear memorials of His own wonders, fill your hearts with all spiritual gladness, in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom be glory and dominion unto the ages of ages.
