Ecclesiastes 5:4-6

Good News Translation

^4 (A)So when you make a promise to God, keep it as quickly as possible. He has no use for a fool. Do what you promise to do. ⁵ Better not to promise at all than to make a promise and not keep it. ⁶ Don't let your own words lead you into sin, so that you have to tell God's priest that you didn't mean it. Why make God angry with you? Why let him destroy what you have worked for?
