1 Be careful when you go to worship at the Temple. It is better to listen than to offer foolish sacrifices. People who do this don’t even know they are doing wrong.
2 Think before you speak.Be careful about what you promise to God.God is in heaven,and you are on the earth.So say only a few words to God.
3 The saying is true: Bad dreams come from too much worrying.So too many words come from foolish people.
4 If you make a promise to God, don’t be slow to keep it. God is not happy with foolish people. Give God what you promised.
5 It is better not to promise anything than to promise something and not do it.
6 So don’t let your words cause you to sin. Also, don’t say to the priest at the Temple, “I didn’t mean what I promised!” If you do, God will become angry with your words. He will destroy everything you have worked for.
