1 LET your conduct be seemly when you go to the house of God; and to draw near to hear is better than the gift offerings of fools; for they know not to do that which is good. 2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes because of the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by a multitude of words. 4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it; for he has no pleasure in fools; but as for you, pay that which you have vowed. 5 It is much better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not fulfill it.
