Ecclesiastes 5:1-5

¹Be not hasty with thy mouth, And let not thy heart be swift To utter anything before God; For God is in heaven above, and thou upon earth: Therefore let thy words be few.

²For through the multitude of trial a dream comes; And a fool’s voice is with a multitude of words.

³Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to God, Defer not to pay it; For he has no pleasure in fools: Pay thou therefore whatsoever thou shalt have vowed.

⁴It is better that thou shouldest not vow, Than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

⁵Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy flesh to sin; And say not in the presence of God, It was an error: Lest God be angry at thy voice, And destroy the works of thy hands.
