1Guard your steps when you go to Gods house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they dont know that they do evil.2 Dont be rash with your mouth, and dont let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.3 For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fools speech with a multitude of words.4 When you vow a vow to God, dont defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.5 It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.6 Dont allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Dont protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words: but you must fear God.8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, dont marvel at the matter: for one official is eyed by a higher one; and there are officials over them.
