Ecclesiastes 5:7

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.

9 Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.
