Ecclesiastes:5:1-7

* Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God , and draw near to hear , rather than to give the sacrifice of fools : for they know not that they do evil . * Be not rash with thy mouth , and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God : for God is in the heavens , and thou upon earth ; therefore let thy words be few . * For a dream cometh through the multitude of business , and a fool 's voice through a multitude of words . * When thou vowest a vow unto God , defer not to pay it ; for he hath no pleasure in fools : pay that which thou hast vowed . * Better is it that thou shouldest not vow , than that thou shouldest vow and not pay . * Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin ; neither say thou before the angel , that it was an inadvertence . Wherefore should God be wroth at thy voice , and destroy the work of thy hands ? * For in the multitude of dreams are vanities ; so with many words : but fear God .
