Ecclesiastes 5:1-5

1. 1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2. 2 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.

3. 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

4. 4 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.

5. 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
