1. Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
2. Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
3. For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.
4. When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!
