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—
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.
The Vanity of Gain and Honor
8 If you asee the oppression of the poor, and the violent1 perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for bhigh official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.
