Ecclesiastes 5:1-6

Fear God

¹^aGuard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the ^bsacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil. 2 ¹Do not be ^ahasty with your mouth or ²impulsive in your heart to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven but you are on the earth; therefore let your ^bwords be few. 3 For the dream comes through abundant endeavor and the voice of a ^afool through abundant words.
4 When you ^amake a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. ^bPay what you vow! 5 It is ^abetter that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. 6 Do not allow your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a ^amistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and wreak destruction on the work of your hands?
