Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
