Ecclesiastes 5:4-8
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?
Ecclesiastes 5:7
For in many dreams and in many words there is futility. Rather, fear God.
Ecclesiastes 5:8
If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.
