God’s Word Translation
Ecclesiastes 5:2-5
2Don’t be in a hurry to talk. Don’t be eager to speak in the presence of God. Since God is in heaven and you are on earth, limit the number of your words.
3Daydreaming comes when there are too many worries. Careless speaking comes when there are too many words.
4When you make a promise to God, don’t be slow to keep it because God doesn’t like fools. Keep your promise.
5It is better not to make a promise than to make one and not keep it.
