Ecclesiastes 5:2-4
2Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thine heartH3820 be hastyH4116 to utterH3318 any thingH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430: for GodH430 is in heavenH8064, and thou upon earthH776: therefore let thy wordsH1697 be fewH4592.1
3For a dreamH2472 comethH935 through the multitudeH7230 of businessH6045; and a fool’sH3684 voiceH6963 is known by multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697.
4When thou vowestH5087 a vowH5088 unto GodH430, deferH309 not to payH7999 it; for he hath no pleasureH2656 in foolsH3684: payH7999 that which thou hast vowedH5087.
