Ecclesiastes 5:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ It is better to promise nothing than to promise something and not be able to do it. ⁶ So don’t let your words cause you to sin. Don’t say to the priest,^[a] “I didn’t mean what I said.” If you do this, God might become angry with your words and destroy everything you have worked for. ⁷ You should not let your useless dreams and bragging bring you trouble. You should respect God.
