Ecclesiastes 5:2-5

2Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before 1God: for 2God is in the heavens, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.

3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business, and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.

4When thou vowest a vow unto 3God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

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