Ecclesiastes 5:1-5 ▼

1 <V 4:17>Guard your foot, when you step into the house of God, and draw near, so that you may listen. For obedience is much better than the sacrifices of the foolish, who do not know the evil that they are doing.

2 <V 5:1>You should not speak anything rashly, nor should your heart be hasty to present a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth. For this reason, let your words be few.

3 <V 5:2>Dreams follow many worries, and in many words foolishness will be found.

4 <V 5:3>If you have vowed anything to God, you should not delay to repay it. And whatever you have vowed, render it. But an unfaithful and foolish promise displeases him.

5 <V 5:4>And it is much better not to make a vow, than, after a vow, not to fulfill what was promised.
