Ecclesiastes 5:2-6
2Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thy 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 a multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697.
4When thou vowestH5087 a vowH5088 to 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. 6PermitH5414 not thy mouthH6310 to cause thy fleshH1320 to sinH2398; neither sayH559 thou beforeH6440 the angelH4397, that it was an errorH7684: why should GodH430 be angryH7107 at thy voiceH6963, and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of thy handsH3027?
