Ecclesiastes 5:2-6

21Do not beH926 2quickH926 with your mouthH6310 or 3impulsiveH4116 in thoughtH3820 to bringH3318 upH3318 a matterH1697 in the presenceH6440 of GodH430. For GodH430 is in heavenH8064 and you are on the earthH776; thereforeH5921H3651 let your 4wordsH1697 be fewH4592. 3For the dreamH2472 comesH935 through muchH7230 5effortH6045, and the voiceH6963 of a 6foolH3684 through manyH7230 wordsH1697.

4WhenH3512 you 7makeH5087 a vowH5088 to GodH430, do not be lateH309 in payingH7999 it; for He takes noH369 delightH2656 in foolsH3684. 8PayH7999 whatH834 you vowH5087! 5It is 9betterH2896 that you not vowH5087, thanH4480 vowH5087 and not payH7999. 6Do not letH5414 your 10speechH6310 cause 11you to sinH2398, and do not sayH559 in the presenceH6440 of the messengerH4397 of God that it was a 12mistakeH7684. WhyH4100 should GodH430 beH7107 angryH7107 onH5921 accountH5921 ofH5921 your voiceH6963, and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of your handsH3027?
