Ecclesiastes 5:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ It is not good to make a promise and not keep it. It is better to make no promise at all. ⁶ Don’t let your mouth cause you to sin. Don’t say to the temple messenger, “My promise was a mistake.” Why should God be angry with what you say? Why should he destroy what you have done? ⁷ Dreaming too much and talking too much are meaningless. So have respect for God.
