Ecclesiastes 5:4
King James Version
“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.”
Context
1Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter thing before God: for God in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice by multitude of words.
4When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5Better that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
7For in the multitude of dreams and many words also vanities: but fear thou God.
