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?”
7 Just as there is futility in many dreams,so also in many words.Therefore, fear God!
8 If you see the extortion of the poor,or the perversion of justice and fairness in the government,do not be astonished by the matter.For the high official is watched by a higher official,and there are higher ones over them!
9 The produce of the land is seized by all of them,even the king is served by the fields.
