Chapter — Douay-Rheims
Ecclesiastes 5
1.Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
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.
