Ecclesiastes 5:2-8

²(5-1) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.

³(5-2) For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.

⁴(5-3) When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools; pay that which thou vowest.

⁵(5-4) Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

⁶(5-5) Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

⁷(5-6) For through the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but fear thou God.

⁸(5-7) If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.
