Ecclesiastes 5:1-2

1 1 2Guard your steps as you go to the house of God, and approach to listen rather than to offer the 3sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil.

2 4Do not be 5quick with your mouth or 6impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your 7words be few.
