|---|---|---|
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 error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
|
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
