Fear God

11 nGuard your steps when you go to othe house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to poffer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. 22 Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore qlet your words be few. 3For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with rmany words.

4When syou vow a vow to God, tdo not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. uPay what you vow. 5vIt is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. 6Let not your mouth lead you3 into sin, and do not say before wthe messenger4 that it was xa mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands? 7For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity;5 but6 yGod is the one you must fear.
