Ecclesiastes 5:4-7

4When thou vowest a vowH5087 unto GodH3808, defer notH3808 to payH7999 it; for he hath noH3808 pleasure in fools: payH7999 that whichH834 thou vowest.

5BetterH3027 is it that thou shouldest notH408 vowH3027, thanH5921 that thou shouldest vowH3027 and notH408 payH5414.

6Suffer notH3588 thy mouth to causeH1697 thy flesh to sin; neither sayH1697 thou beforeH430 the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should GodH430 be angry at thy voice, and destroy the workH1697 of thine hands?

7For thus it cometh to pass throughH5921 the multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear thou God.
