Ecclesiastes 5:2-6
2Do notH408 be quickH926 toH5921 speakH6310, and do notH408 be hastyH4116 in your heartH3820 to utterH3318 a wordH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430. ForH3588 GodH430 is in heavenH8064 and youH859 are onH5921 earthH776. SoH5921H3651 let your wordsH1697 beH1961 fewH4592.
4WhenH834 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to GodH430, do notH408 delayH309 in fulfilling itH7999, becauseH3588 He takes noH369 pleasureH2656 in foolsH3684. FulfillH7999 your vowH5087. 5It is betterH2896 notH3808 to vowH5087 than to make a vowH5087 and notH3808 fulfill itH7999.
6Do notH408 letH5414 your mouthH6310 cause your fleshH1320 to sinH2398, and do notH408 tellH559H6440 the messengerH43971 thatH3588 your vow was a mistakeH7684. WhyH4100 should GodH430 be angryH7107 withH5921 your wordsH6963 and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of your handsH3027?
