1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Better to draw near in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they ignorantly do wrong.
2 Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
3 For dreams result from much work and a fool’s voice from many words.
4 When you make a vow to God, don’t delay fulfilling it, because He does not delight in fools. Fulfill what you vow.
5 Better that you do not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.
