Ecclesiastes 5:1-5 ▼

1 As you enter the house of God, keep your ears open and your mouth shut. It is evil to make mindless offerings to God.

2 Don’t make rash promises, and don’t be hasty in bringing matters before God. After all, God is in heaven, and you are here on earth. So let your words be few.

3 Too much activity gives you restless dreams; too many words make you a fool.

4 When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.

5 It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it.
