1. Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God;draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools,for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.
2. Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,for God is in heaven and you are on earth!Therefore, let your words be few.
3. Just as dreams come when there are many cares,so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.
4. When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it.For God takes no pleasure in fools:Pay what you vow!
5. It is better for you not to vowthan to vow and not pay it.
6. Do not let your mouth cause you to sin,and do not tell the priest, “It was a mistake!”Why make God angry at youso that he would destroy the work of your hands?”
