Ecclesiastes 5:1-7New King James Version (NKJV)
Fear God, Keep Your Vows
5 Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
2
Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few.
3
For a dream comes through much activity,
And a fool’s voice is known by his many words.
4
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
5
Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse[a] and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
