Ecclesiastes 5:1-2
The Message

God’s in Charge, Not You

5 Watch your step when you enter God’s house.
    Enter to learn. That’s far better than mindlessly offering
        a sacrifice,
    Doing more harm than good.

2 Don’t shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think.
Don’t be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear.
God’s in charge, not you—the less you speak, the better.
