Ecclesiastes 5:3


← Ecclesiastes 5:2 Ecclesiastes 5:3 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:4 →
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by 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.
