2 Don't be in a hurry to talk. Don't be eager to speak in the presence of God. Since God is in heaven and you are on earth, limit the number of your words. 3 Daydreaming comes when there are too many worries. Careless speaking comes when there are too many words. 4 When you make a promise to God, don't be slow to keep it because God doesn't like fools. Keep your promise. 5 It is better not to make a promise than to make one and not keep it. 6 Don't let your mouth talk you into committing a sin. Don't say in the presence of a [temple] messenger, |My promise was a mistake!| Why should God become angry at your excuse and destroy what you've accomplished?
