Ecclesiastes 5:2-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly.

3. If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.

4. And it is much better not to vow, than after a vow not to perform the things promised.

5. Give not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin: and say not before the angel: There is no providence: lest God be angry at thy words, and destroy all the works of thy hands.
