Ecclesiastes 5:4-8
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? 7For asH3588 manyH7230 dreamsH2472 bring futilityH1892, so do manyH7235 wordsH1697. ThereforeH3588, fearH3372 GodH430.
8IfH518 you seeH7200 the oppressionH6233 of the poorH7326 and the denialH1498 of justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6664 in the provinceH4082, do notH408 be astonishedH8539 atH5921 the matterH2656; forH3588 one officialH1364H5921 is watched byH8104 a superiorH1364, and others higher stillH1364 are over themH5921.
