Ecclesiastes 5:6-7

6Do not let your 1speech cause 2you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a 3mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands? 7For in many dreams and in many words there is 4emptiness. Rather, 5 6fear God.
