Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 (4:17) Watch thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be near to hearken to his will, more than to give the sacrifice of fools; for they consider not that they do evil to themselves.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(4:17) Watch thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be near to hearken to his will, more than to give the sacrifice of fools; for they consider not that they do evil to themselves. ² ^(5:1) Suffer not thy mouth to be rash, and let thy heart not be hasty to utter any word before God; for God is in the heavens, and thou art upon the earth: therefore let thy words be few. ³ ^(5:2) For a dream cometh through being much employed with something, and the voice of a fool cometh with a multitude of words. ⁴ ^(5:3) When thou makest a vow unto God, do not delay to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in such fools: that which thou hast vowed must thou pay. ⁵ ^(5:4) It is better that thou shouldst not vow, than that thou shouldst vow and not pay. ⁶ ^(5:5) Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy body to sin; and say thou not before the messenger, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry because of thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? ⁷ ^(5:6) For in the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but rather fear thou God.
