2 Don't be impulsive with your mouth nor be in a hurry to talk in God's presence. Since God is in heaven and you're on earth, keep your speech short. 3 Too many worries lead to nightmares, and a fool is known from talking too much. 4 When you make a promise to God, don't fail to keep it, since he isn't pleased with fools. Keep what you promise— 5 it's better that you don't promise than that you do promise and not follow through. 6 Never let your mouth cause you to sin and don't proclaim in the presence of the angel, |My promise was a mistake,| for why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy what you've undertaken?
