2 Do not be quick with your mouth,do not be hasty in your heartto utter anything before God.God is in heavenand you are on earth,so let your words be few.
3 A dream comes when there are many cares,and many words mark the speech of a fool.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfil it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfil your vow.
5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfil it.
6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, ‘My vow was a mistake.’ Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
8 If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still.
