4. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
5. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.
6. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
7. Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
8. If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still.
9. The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
