1 Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God;draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools,for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.
2 Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,for God is in heaven and you are on earth!Therefore, let your words be few.
3 Just as dreams come when there are many cares,so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it.For God takes no pleasure in fools:Pay what you vow!
5 It is better for you not to vowthan to vow and not pay it.
6 Do not let your mouth cause you to sin,and do not tell the priest, “It was a mistake!”Why make God angry at youso that he would destroy the work of your hands?”
