Ecclesiastes 5:2

Listen To God Rather Than Uttering Rash Vows

¹ Keep thy foot, when thou goest unto the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than dullards to offer sacrifice, - for they make no acknowledgment of doing wrong. ² Be not rash with thy mouth, and, with thy heart, be not in haste to bring forth a word, before God, - for, God, is in the heavens, and, thou, upon the earth, for this cause, let thy words be few. ³ For a dream cometh through the multitude of business, - and, the voice of a dullard, is with a multitude of words.

Before God

Face of God

For This Cause

God is in Heaven

On Earth

Presence of God

O God
