Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 — Stand in Awe of God
Eccl.5.1-7
1Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few. 2For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words. 3When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for he has no pleasure in foolery; what you vow, fulfill. 4It is better not to make a vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. 5Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not say before the messenger , 'It was a mistake.' Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands? 6For in many dreams there is futility , and in many words as well; rather, fear God. 7If you see the oppression of the poor and the robbery of justice and righteousness in a province, do not be astonished at the matter; for one high official watches over another, and there are higher ones over them.
