Listen to God Rather Than Uttering Rash Vows
Listen to God Rather Than Uttering Rash Vows
- draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice of fools,
- for they do not know that they are doing evil.
- 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God.
- For God is in heaven, and you are on earth;
- therefore, let your words be few.
- 3 For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words.
- 4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it,
- for he takes no pleasure[fn] in fools.
- Fulfill what you vow!
- 5 It is better that you not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.
- 6 Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not tell the messenger that it was a mistake.
- Why anger God at your words,
- so that he destroys the work of your hands?
- 7 For with many dreams come vanities and numerous words. Therefore, fear God!
