Ecclesiastes 5:2-6
Ecclesiastes 5:2
Do not be quick with your mouth or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:3
For the dream comes through much effort, and the voice of a fool through many words.
Ecclesiastes 5:4
When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!
Ecclesiastes 5:5
It is better that you not vow, than vow and not pay.
Ecclesiastes 5:6
Do not let your speech cause you to sin, and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
