Ecclesiastes 5:4

Compare all

2 Do not be ^arash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words ^bbe few.

3 For a dream comes through much activity,
And ^aa fool’s voice is known by his many words.

4 ^aWhen you make a vow to God, do not delay to ^bpay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—

5 ^aBetter not to vow than to vow and not pay.

6 Do not let your ^amouth cause your flesh to sin, ^bnor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your¹ excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But ^afear God.
