Ecclesiastes 5:2-7 Be not hastye with thy mouth, and let not thine hert speake eny thing rashly before God. For God is in heauen, and thou vpon earth, therfore let thy wordes be few.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Be not hastye with thy mouth, and let not thine hert speake eny thing rashly before God. For God is in heauen, and thou vpon earth, therfore let thy wordes be few. ³ For where moch carefulnesse is, there are many dreames: and where many wordes are, there men maye heare fooles. ⁴ If thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for folysh vowes, he hath no pleasure in them: ⁵ If thou promyse eny thinge, paye it: for better it is that thou make no vowe, then that thou shuldest promyse, and not paye. ⁶ Suffre not thy mouth to cause thy flesh for to synne, nether saye thou before the angell, that it is thy ignoraunce. For then God wilbe angrie at thy voyce, & destroye all the worckes of thyne handes. ⁷ And why? where as are many dreames and many wordes, there are also diuerse vanytes: but loke that thou feare God.
