1. Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God and draw near to hear, rather than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.
2. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God for God is in the heavens, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
3. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business, and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.
4. 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.
