1 Be not hasty in your utterance and let not your heart be quick to utter a promise in God’s presence. God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.
2 As dreams come along with many cares,so a fool’s voice along with a multitude of words.
3 When you make a vow to God, delay not its fulfillment. For God has no pleasure in fools; fulfill what you have vowed.
4 It is better not to make a vow than make it and not fulfill it.
