Keep your foot from sin when you go to the house of God:
Ecclesiastes 5:1
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
Do not make quick vows to God. Let your words be few before God:
Ecclesiastes 5:2
Do not be quick with your mouth; do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
Be sure to pay vows to God:
Ecclesiastes 5:4
When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
Better not to vow than to vow and refuse to pay it:
Ecclesiastes 5:5
It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
Say not to the recording angel that your sin was only an error:
Ecclesiastes 5:6
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?
