Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 - Listen To God Rather Than Uttering Rash Vows

¹ Watch thy feet when thou shalt go to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than give the sacrifice of the foolish, for they not knowing the doing of evil. ² Thou shalt not hasten with thy mouth, and thy heart shall not be quick to bring forth a word to the face of God: for God is in the heavens, and thou upon the earth: for this thy words shall be few. ³ For the dream came in the multitude of labor; and the voice of the foolish one in the multitude of words. ⁴ When thou shalt vow a vow to God, thou shalt not delay to repay it; for there is no desire in the foolish: repay what thou shalt vow. ⁵ Good that thou shalt not vow rather than thou shalt vow and not requite. ⁶ Thou shalt not give thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; and thou shalt not say to the face of the messenger that it is an error: wherefore shall God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? ⁷ For in the multitude of dreams, and vanities, and many words: but fear thou God.
