4 When you make a vow to Elohim, do not delay to pay it, for He takes no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you have vowed.
5 It is better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
6 Do not allow your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of Elohim that it was a mistake. Why should Elohim be wroth at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
7 For in much dreaming and many words there is futility. But fear Elohim.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and denial of right-ruling and righteousness in a province, do not be astonished at the matter. For a higher than the high is guarding, and there are higher ones over them.
9 And the increase of the land is for all. The sovereign himself is served from the field.
10 He who loves silver is not satisfied with silver; nor he who loves wealth, and increase. That too is futile.
