Ecclesiastes 5:4-8

4It is better for you not to vow than to vow and not pay.

5Don’t let your mouth lead your flesh to sin, and don’t say before the messenger, “It was a mistake!” Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

6Many dreams and many words are meaningless. Therefore, fear God!

7If you see the oppression of the poor or perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the matter. For one authority watches over another authority, and higher ones are over them.

8Though the profit of the land is taken by all, a king is served by the fields.
