2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes because of the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by a multitude of words. 4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it; for he has no pleasure in fools; but as for you, pay that which you have vowed. 5 It is much better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not fulfill it. 6 Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say before God that it was an error, lest God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands.
