Ecclesiastes 5:2-5
21Do not be 2quick with your mouth or 3impulsive 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 4words be few. 3For the dream comes through much 5effort, and the voice of a 6fool through many words.
4When you 7make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. 8Pay what you vow! 5It is 9better that you not vow, than vow and not pay.
