Guard
your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen
rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know
they are doing evil. Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought
to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and
you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. For the dream
comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many
words.
When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow! It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

Do
not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence
of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be
angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear
God.
[Ecclesiastes
5: 1-7—NASB]
