Ecclesiastes 5:4-7
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.
5BetterH2896 is it that thou shouldest not vowH5087, than that thou shouldest vowH5087 and not payH7999.
6SufferH5414 not thy mouthH6310 to cause thy fleshH1320 to sinH2398; neither sayH559 thou beforeH6440 the angelH4397, that it was an errorH7684: wherefore should GodH430 be angryH7107 at thy voiceH6963, and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027?
7For in the multitudeH7230 of dreamsH2472 and manyH7235 wordsH1697 there are also divers vanitiesH1892: but fearH3372 thou GodH430.
