Ecclesiastes 5:1-5 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Be careful when you go to worship at the Temple. It is better to listen than to offer foolish sacrifices. People who do this don’t even know they are doing wrong.

2. Think before you speak.Be careful about what you promise to God.God is in heaven,and you are on the earth.So say only a few words to God.

3. The saying is true: Bad dreams come from too much worrying.So too many words come from foolish people.

4. If you make a promise to God, don’t be slow to keep it. God is not happy with foolish people. Give God what you promised.

5. It is better not to promise anything than to promise something and not do it.
