After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.3 As a dream comes through many cares, so the speech of a fool comes with many words.4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow.5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands? ← Show Verse 1 Full chapter Show Verses 7 - 20 → Parallel translations Study & commentary Cross-references Ecclesiastes 5:2-6, BSB with Strong's.
