Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

112GuardH8104 your stepsH7272 as you goH1980 to the houseH1004 of GodH430 and drawH7126 nearH7138 to listenH8085 ratherH4480 thanH4480 to offerH5414 the 3sacrificeH2077 of foolsH3684; for they do not knowH3045 they are doingH6213 evilH7451. 24Do not be 5hastyH4116 6in wordH6310 or 7impulsiveH4116 in thoughtH3820 to bringH3318 up a matterH1697 in the presenceH6440 of GodH430. For GodH430 is in heavenH8064 and you are on the earthH776; thereforeH5921H3651 let your 8wordsH1697 be fewH4592. 3For the dreamH2472 comesH935 through muchH7230 9effortH6045 and the voiceH6963 of a 10foolH3684 through manyH7230 wordsH1697.

4WhenH3512 you 11makeH5087 a vowH5088 to GodH430, do not be lateH309 in payingH7999 it; for He takes noH369 delightH2656 in foolsH3684. 12PayH7999 whatH834 you vowH5087! 5It is 13betterH2896 that you should not vowH5087 thanH4480 that you should vowH5087 and not payH7999. 6Do not letH5414 your 14speechH6310 cause 15you to sinH2398 and do not sayH559 in the presenceH6440 of the messengerH4397 of God that it was a 16mistakeH7684. WhyH4100 should GodH430 be angryH7107 on accountH5921 of your voiceH6963 and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of your handsH3027? 7For in manyH7230 dreamsH2472 and in manyH7235 wordsH1697 there is 17emptinessH1892. RatherH3588, 1819fearH3372 GodH430.
