Ecclesiastes 5:2

Listen To God Rather Than Uttering Rash Vows

¹ Be not hasty with thy mouth, ² and let not thine heart speak anything rashly before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth, therefore let thy words be few. ³ For where much carefulness is, there are many dreams: and where many words are, there men may hear fools.

For This Cause
