Ecclesiastes 5:6

← Ecclesiastes 5:5 Ecclesiastes 5:6 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 5:7 →
Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
