English Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 5:4-8
4When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.
5It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.
6Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
7For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear.
8If you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, do not be amazed at the matter, for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.
