|---|---|---|
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
|
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
