Ecclesiastes 5:6
King James Version
“Suffer 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?”
Context
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.
8If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for higher than the highest regardeth; and higher than they.
9Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king is served by the field.
