2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart hurry to bring out a word before the face of God; for God is in the heavens, and you are upon the earth—upon thus, let your words be few. 3 For as a dream comes with an abundance of business, so the voice of a fool with an abundance of words. 4 When you vow a vow to God, you should not delay to fulfill it, for there is no delight in fools. What you have vowed, you must fulfill. 5 Better that you did not vow, than that you vow and not fulfill it. 6 Do not give your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, and do not say before the face of the messenger that it was an error. Why should God be angry concerning your voice and destroy the work of your hands? Ecclesiastes 5:2-6, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
